Econopolitik(Mass Noun, Abstract, must be used sparringly as it has a negative connotation, but may be used quite possitively under certain occasions) a coined term that refers to one's cache of beliefs that predisposes one's political biases toward what is most economically feasible and most beneficial to a particular political agenda. --Webguy 09:06, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC) Econopolitik is amoral. One's cache may contain one's morality or not, but in the end, the decision is made on the basis of being able to sustain the power to exercise the option. In business, it maybe best to describe as the belief system of a CEO's decision to sack a fallguy for a quarter slump, in order to satisfy the Board; a team owner's decision to trade a good aging player even at his prime and even against popular concern; or a President's decision to avoid raising residential taxes because it is unpopular. Under ALL three examples there is - 1: Pressure to Decide, 2. Gain or Loss involved, and 3: A disregard for a party in the decision, either oneself, popular opinion or a party to be affected by the action Such actions can be deliberate, and are done only on economical and political grounds. There is no ethics in deciding whether it is right or wrong. Must be differentiated from Machiavellian, Kantian, or Pragmatism. The only that question Econopolitik is concerned about is whether the decision is economically or politically timely or not.
