Économie politique

Économie politique, or political economy, is the study of how economic systems and policies are influenced by political forces and institutions. It examines the interaction between government actions, economic behavior, and societal factors, aiming to understand how resources are allocated, wealth is generated, and social welfare is affected. By analyzing these relationships, it helps explain why economies develop differently and how policies can shape economic outcomes, balancing efficiency, equity, and growth within societal and political contexts.
