Economic power

[justdimin]

The backbone of any prosperous country is its economic might. Devoid of it, we are but mere shadows. Nevertheless, our administration continues to disregard this pivotal factor of our community. They allocate funds towards aimless wars and overblown bureaucracies while our financial system flounders. A revolution is in order. We need leaders that are cognizant of the significance of economic power and will strive to enhance it. Our policies should endorse start-ups, cultivate ingenuity, and initiate employment opportunities. It's time to reclaim our economic power and allocate it where it rightfully belongs - in the hands of the common people!

I think the difference between what makes a strong country and what makes a politician elected are not overlapped, that is the reason. If you have a very strong economy, you are doing great as a nation, but then you do not really need a great leader, you could do fine with just some "government worker" type of position at the very top. How many of us know who the leader of Russia is? How many of us know who the leader of France is? Ukraine is? USA is? UK is?

And then once again think of how many of us know the leader of Norway or Sweden? You may know personally, but if a poll was made, I guarantee you that those two would be the least known ones for sure. Which is a proof that a strong nation doesn't create a big leader and that's why leaders try to keep avoiding building a nation like that if they can.

What happens is that the economic growth is no longer real, we see the stock market going up all the time but this is happening not because new companies are being created which generate a new source of tax revenue and new technologies, this is happening simply because the government is printing money and those at the top are earning a fortune by doing absolutely nothing, so the middle class and the poor do not benefit from such economic boom and this is causing civil unrest all over the world.

The most essential power of any individuals, organization, industries, churches, government, and nations is truly rely on the wings and Caprices of economic power.

Political power is good but political power can not survive without good economic power, political power is irrelevance if there is no good economy situations of any firm. It takes the economic power to build every other aspects of life.

Even government can not operates effectively if they lack or suffered economic kwashiorkor. Smooth organization operates as a function of good economy situations. When you economic power is stable and dignified, the evidence of Man's labour becomes very easy.

Everything starts from the economy, a person's influence depends on the level of the economy.
If you go into a warung, and find a group of people talking, you'll see how different the way they talk is. If one of them has a large wallet, he will stand out from the rest.
Likewise with organizations that have sufficient financial support, surely these organizations have a big influence in their environment. The state is also the most important part in terms of economic power, because economic power can influence political power. If economic power is strong, political power is strong, then the cooperative relationship of an institution, or a state can run well, because when talking about politics, this cannot be separated from interests.

agree with the opinion of colleagues above all, that economic strength is a pillar to be able to determine the direction and goals to be carried out. it is not even surprising that with economic power someone will be able to regulate a policy that will be desired even with actions that may violate the rules that are not appropriate.
Unfortunately for developing countries the ability of someone with economic strength supported by large companies, can buy the rules according to his wishes. so it is not surprising that it eventually gave birth to dictators in policy, where many ordinary people became victims of agreements between politicians, policy makers and those with economic power.

I think "means to produce" might be a better term here.

A good economy and the emergence of a strong political power normally stem from being able to produce something. It is normally either food, good transport links or exports.

Obviously. The stability of an economy depends largely on the means of the independent nation being able to produce more of wha they consume other than that, you would end up building the economy of other nations who produce the bulk of what you need. It's that bad.
Surely, your economic power tells about how relevant you are as an independent nation and youe got your military power there for support and ensure supremacy of the state in the eyes of a invasion.

Somehow, many nations especially the developing and underdeveloped onces fined themselves at the offensive end of this. With the world far ahead of them and the need for new innovations which could often by acquired through trade rather than produced, they find themselves buying more, rather than producing more. Even the resources within are hardly produced into finished products.

Economic strength is increasingly important at this time, there is no need to use the military and weapons to subdue a country, but by giving debt, slowly state assets will be owned, this is done by China by providing loans to many countries so that China's economic power is getting stronger and harder to beat.

[ringgo96]

it's right as you said because everything we live today must start with good economic strength, whatever plans we make even though it is so strategic if there is no economic strength then all the strategic that is made will be in vain, nowadays many countries are in economic crisis to the point that people find it difficult to meet their needs and many crimes happen without caring about others all this because they are under pressure from the economy, Then the biggest problem right now is unmet economic stability.

Do you think China is not strengthening its military bases? precisely by strengthening its military China is able to secure its territorial territory. Do you know how the history of colonialism began when a country had abundant economic resources but was not strengthened by an automatic military that was easily enslaved and easily conquered? The role of both is important, even though in this day and age the war is openly criticized. See Ukraine and how Russia treats them. Russia has the military power to suppress Ukraine's economy which is still under the Russian military base.

But military force is still needed because we often hear from online or television news that war troops are flies in the territory of a country. And even though the official authorities have denied that this is just training and checking regional boundaries, it is still a show of military powers. But indeed, China has used loans to many small countries because China has been eyeing the resources they have found and wants to master them. By providing these loans, China can get many results so that China can control the country. However, developing countries do not want to simply comply with requests from big countries because they are trying to develop the potential that exists in their countries so that they can be even more advanced.

In my opinion, this is only a small part in terms of defeating many poor countries, because rich countries will definitely not take debt from anyone even if they are repeatedly offered by any party. So the losers here are countries that are still poor because they need money to build infrastructure within their countries.

And make no mistake that a country that is able to pay off its debts wisely and on time cannot be considered a loser because the country must be considered strong because it has the ability to pay off its forests. So that economic power only looks big for those who need a lot of money, whereas for the rich countries in this world, it is considered normal.

Economic power is important but doesn't always translate to or correlates with political power. Fortunately or not, it's not so simple. The USA and China are both politically and economically huge, and that might incline to talk about these powers as interrelated and about the need of economic power to back the political one. But in terms of economic power, Japan is the world's third economy, but it's political power is almost nonexistent. Russia, on the other hand, has a smaller economy than Canada or France but seems to have more political power, mainly by posing as a representative of the former Soviet Union and by doing things countries nowadays don't allow themselves to do.

when you have a large account balance, everything you do and think will run optimally and that is natural, but in an organization or institution, expecting their economy to be supported strongly in my opinion is very unethical, will they work not optimal just because the financial power in their organization or institution is weak, therein needed the loyalty.  and when it comes to a country, we will continue to see countries that have a weak economy will be left behind and oppressed, so every country must manage the resources they have to the fullest so that there is no inequality.

The economic crisis has taught us how bad it is these conditions and even all stakeholders will experience the effects of the crisis this is without exception the people.

1. The poverty rate has increased from the impact of the economic crisis due to the absence of a source of income.
2. The government will find it difficult to meet the needs of state spending which will result in bankruptcy.

If these two things happen, then the status of the state/government is not in good condition, unstable economic strength is not always a sign of an economic crisis, but if this happens for a long time the impact of inflation will destroy the economy. In the end it will affect other sectors as a source of state (Income) revenue. Therefore, economic strength is the most important source for the country in maintaining stability.

the point is if groups or individuals have a lot of money then they can control the situation or anything that has to do with money.
and this happens in any part of the world without seeing the differences between them because every country has a system that is almost the same.

not only individuals but groups or companies that do play an economic role will freely arrange everything according to what they want. because everything can be arranged with money to make a deal without interference. agree that this happens in almost all parts of the world but it is more felt in developing countries, so it is not surprising that in these countries there are many small kings growing who are able to regulate all policies, without anyone being able to touch them.
it is even possible that there will be businessmen and leaders who become dictators, to put pressure on small communities without being able to put up a fight.

I have to say that it is definitely a situation where excess economic power always requires a bit of a military action in order to provide proof of it at the same time. Not just to get some lands and provide more economical growth, neither Taiwan nor Ukraine would make these nations so much richer that it worth a war over, no the fact that they are in a war, no matter where it is, was the reason why they are showing how strong they are economically.

Doesn't mean they are right, we have seen how Russia got economically screwed, they expected everyone to be silent like 2014 and that did not happen this time around, which is why it's such a trouble.

[Semar Mesem]

All countries compete to become a global economic power, countries that have strong economic power are of course supported by good human resources, without strong human resources it will be difficult to realize economic power, apart from competition between countries on the other hand there is also competition between regions, they form unity to be able to fight the economic power of other regions.

Yes, both of them are not the same but I think political power is more important because a country is run by politicians right? And if they are great at doing their duties then we can expect that the economy of the country will also become more powerful.

I agree that Japans economic power is great but this wouldn't be possible if the political power they have is weak or non-existent. Maybe you just miss calculate them? Or we don't only noticed it because USA and China are mostly in the headlines and people are mostly focusing on them in terms of politics. Russia has more political power than Canada and France but they don't earn it a fair way. That was still unimpressive.

The case of Japan is interesting, both the US and China are interested on increasing their influence on their regions and all over the world as well, however Japan has always been more concentrated on their domestic affairs so they may give the impression they do not hold as much political power, but the truth is that they simply choose not to use it, while Russia which has never been one of the top economies of the world is willing to exert its influence by means which are thought to be illegitimate by the international community.

Economic strength is an important force in running individual organizations and governments. Many countries have disbanded due to economic collapse, for example Sri Lanka. This also affects the amount of debt with other countries.

The economy is a resource, which is a backbone of strength and a source of strength for political or state activities or any organization including the family which is the lowest organization. The economy is a measure of strength, how capable it is to manage and develop resources, both human resources and natural resources, which provide a higher selling power output which is used to mobilize the organization so that the vision and mission go according to purpose.
I totally agree with this, the economy is a great power and weapon to defend and attack.
