Briefly explain the relationship between politics and economics.

What will be an ideal response?

Politics deals with the distribution of power and resources while economics are concerned with the production and distribution of wealth. Given that they both deal with the distribution of resources, certain key questions, such as how to pay for government, what role government should play in society, and who (government or the private sector) should pay for various services, have both a political and an economic component thus leading some to confuse the terms.
