Political Power Vs Economic Power: The Twitter-trump Scenario by PediakAuthor(op):
Conventionally, every State is being ruled by two types of powers; the political power and the economic power.

For you to be relevant in the coming era, and for good things to be said about you, as from today, make sure you lay a solid foundation for a competitive platform, either in politics or in business.

Economic power controls political power.

Politicians go to billionaire for donations to run their campaign, the politicians ends up doing the biddings of the billionaires instead of the masses

I have. I still go with my opinion.

Billionaires control politics and politicians.

Most of the laws are for their interest of the capitalist

No, the politicians were created by the billionaires.

The laws created by the politicians are for the billionaires.

For instance here in Nigeria, the politicians raise funds from the bankers, then create favorable laws for the bankers, if the politicians goes astray, they starve him of donations and he goes into oblivion

This is exactly my point...
Both are interdependent...
They all have their respective powers...

Yes, but the bankers have bigger power.

The politicians are just puppets.

Every coup in the history of Nigeria have been sponsored by bankers and billionaires

I love interlectual discussion.


I will say both powers controls the world from day one. One cannot do without the other. The maffians (economic) controls the politicians. However, political power is still little above economic power when gotten while economic above before power is gotten. Egypt (Economic) was destroyed by Rome (Political).

China(Economic power) has discover that US(political power) cannot be matched, thereby using economic power.

Remember also that China and Russia is both political and Economic power of their own.


Both economic and Political power can be destroyed my the strong will of the people.

I love your analysis, most especially when you used the Egypt and Rome as an example, however, the point remains the same, both powers are exclusively functional in their own ways... you might have a power and might not know how to put it in place...

political power is supreme, remember Trump already has economic power as an influential billionaire but he still craved for political power.

with political power one can crippled his rival economic power, remember political power controls everything the military( the land, the air and the sea).
