Although politics and economics may be different concepts, the ‘objects’ are highly interactive. The table below is an initial attempt to show some dimensions of the interaction. It includes but is not limited to factors emphasized by Marx and Schumpeter.

Notes Radicals have some of the following: extremism / rigidity / revolutionary / distorting / manipulative politics / undue influence. The moderate are, among other things, a base for trust and continuity though not essentially of conservatism. The terms moderate and radical have pejorative and positive senses (depending on the value system employed) but neither is essentially negative.		Decision ® Styles of decision making: central vs. distributed (and combinations) and responsive to change vs. utopic / totalitarian vs. learning about intrinsic time scales of need and capability. The role of ethics in decision and choice: ethics as driven by value-emotion, channeled by cognition-mind, and coded in culture.
		Left and radical left	Liberal moderate and centrist	Conservative moderate and centrist	Right and radical right
Class ¯	Power elite-Function: power, decision, control, information. Military: enforcement ■ Political: power-decision-control-influence-information ■ Economic: wealth-production-influence. Separation vs. integration of the secular and trans-secular.
	Intellectual / white collar. Function: ideas and innovation.
	Labor / blue collar. Function: manual work—labor and skill intensive.
