When have politics and economics ever not been mixed?

Wow, congratulations on the new channel. While I personally don’t think YouTube lacks political commentators and geopolitical analysts, I’m genuinely excited about the team you’ve put together for it. Hopefully they continue to provide analysis that stays clear of personal biases, as hard as that can be…

I appreciate your effort into making an another channel about geopolitics The fact that politics affects everything in life, including economics, should not be ignored

Your channel is about economics. You explain economics. The economics has been explained

Probably my new favorite YT channel. Thx for the modern knowledge and thanks for everything!

Nice!!!! Not only addressing the criticisms of eco by fleshing theory out with socio-political reasoning but supplying us with new content. Im keen to learn more!

This is a great video covering these topics that handle arguments between data vs ideology. 👏👏👏

Economy and global geopolitics are intricately linked. You cannot separate one from the other.

I graduated with a BS PolySci degree focusing on IR. Ive watched EE for years. Love it. I cant wait to see the new series. Congrats.

The opposite could be true too - imagine a place governed strictly by economic rational, where people are ranked only as valuable producers and useless to society dependents (the old, disabled etc)

I am a small business owner, and I took microeconomics in college. It would be amazing if you made or could point us to a channel that talked about microeconomics. Like game theory, supply and demand, and monopolies!

Like how can economics and politics not be mixed with each other?...

Excited for this! Hope that you do updates to old videos as stories develop more so into the future.

Please keep up your great work. Educating our society in economics without political spin is essential for our democracy. Thank you

I wrote my senior thesis on this topic, focusing on how politicians turn to (often discredited) economic theories that have a confirmation bias alignment with the electorate. I used trickle-down economics (Reaganomics) as my case study. It demonstrably doesn't work, but it confirms the biases of conservative voters (taxes are evil; everyone 100% earns every single dollar of their income, and not a single dollar more or less than that; exploitation isn't possible; and neither are unjustifiably large salaries), so even 40-odd years on, it's still being advocated for.

I love this so much, thank you, truly, for all this valuable knowledge

Bravo for acknowledging you needed to make another channel because of the politic aspects that have been omitted. 👍🏻

Finally, money and politics its going to be great to watch how trainwrecks are made.

So glad to have you as a dependable resource.
