Politics is social; economics is monetary. The social depends on the monetary; the monetary influences the social.
I didn't say they were the same thing. I'm suggesting that it's hard to remove economics from political discussions as was suggested here.
Oh, science crosses paths with both economics and politics as well.
But, seriously, Titled Politics wouldn't work without including economics. Removing economics would make it too narrow in scope. But, yes, I can see how being too focused on pure economics can be distracting, but it is up to us to put things back on track if it is, indeed, too far off.
A discussion of CEO compensation can be relevant to a discussion of minimum wage.
Why wasn't the minimum wage thread put in Tilted Knowledge? Why wasn't this thread?
