Economic policy significantly influences political decisions by shaping the distribution of resources and the overall welfare of citizens. Governments use fiscal and monetary policies to address issues such as inflation, unemployment, and economic growth, which can impact public opinion and electoral outcomes. For instance, successful economic growth may bolster support for the ruling party, while economic downturns can lead to political instability and calls for change. Moreover, political ideologies often dictate economic policies, influencing the government’s approach to taxation, social programs, and regulatory frameworks, ultimately affecting citizens' daily lives.
