Abstract

Economics, or broadly speaking (and as its father founders are concerned), the political economy is a social, technical, and moral science. Hence, I prefer to label economics, as an “all-inclusive science”. This science incorporates an enormous interdisciplinary capability. It does have significant interaction with politics and other social and human sciences. Due to obtaining a distinctive methodology and other accomplished instruments, economics can analyze other sciences readily. Consequently, this work is trying to act out economic analysis to political election as a specific case in the interaction between economics and politics. It albeit emphasizes the presidential election in the USA, November 3, 2020.
