Essential political thinking is about Democracy: Economic thinking is about Profits. Human thinking is about the General Welfare.

Essential 'Political Thinking' is about Democracy, about the Freedom and Equality of the Individuals in the Social, or stated more clearly, in the 'condition of togetherness'. Economic thinking is about Profits and 'Size'. The sole purpose of an Economy is to be productive, to be huge, and to be successful. A successful economy is one that contributes or should contribute to the well-being, or the General Welfare, of the 'condition of togetherness', viz., the Real People at the Bottom of Government. A successful economy can be 'housed' in a Real Democracy; but a Real Democracy cannot be 'housed' in a successful economy. Why is that? Because a successful economy is founded on 'competition' and is dependent on 'Legal Fictions', or 'Fictional Persons' i.e., huge Corporations who only exist "in contemplation of Law" and which grow 'larger and larger', based on cut-throat 'competition'; not on Freedom and Equality. Freedom and Equality is a characteristic of Democracy, not of an Economy. An economy can exist within a democracy; but a democracy cannot exist within an economy. Stated differently, each must assume their 'proper place' within the Social or within the 'condition of togetherness'. That condition is about Real Individuals living next to each Other in Equality and Freedom. If the medium of exchange that makes an economy possible is held by 1% of the Real and Fictional 'population', while the 99% of the 'real' population are deprived of a 'currency' or 'medium of exchange' that should circulate, then the economy is in a state of 'imbalance or inequality'. That is not 'human thinking'; that is a 'lop-sided economy' that does not consider the 'General Welfare' of the Social. That's why we need 'Real Politicians' driving the Ship of State, not 'politically correct' politicians, nor CEO's from the Economy. Democracy needs to be 'cleansed' from power hungry politicians and CEO's that have ascended the pinnacles of Power. Where are the Real Politicians or the Statesmen?
