The involvement of politics in business! right or wrong?

[CALVINDOL]

To some extent business and politics have something in common and a good example could be explained in a situation where a country is filled with many business and for this business to prosper there should be a little involvement of politics and by the word politics we mean the government of the economy in which the business absolutely resides. To be more elaborate, businesses and politics should not be entirely mixed with each other. And as a business owner it is absolutely very necessary that you keep your political habit and behaviour of your business responsibilities and duties since that could be a hindrance for you chasing most of your potential customers and clients. For example you may be supporting a particular political party, and due to your love of the political party you hang and paste flyers and flags of the political party in your place of business or in your business environment. Your client and customer could be opposes to the party in which you support and so because of this they would not like to patronize you.

You do not want to do anything that will disrespect your customer and client that is why you have to be 100% transparent and honest with them. You should only mingle everything concerning business with business and leave everything concerning politics to politics. Most business owners who have combined a business responsibilities with their political visions end up in penury and brokenness.

We have different type of economy practice by different countries, we have the capitalism or free economy, socialism, Communism and so on.
Politics in business can not be totally avoidable as government is in charge of what happens in the country.
The involvement of government in business environment is very important even though in a free economy, government seem not to be in charge of the economy as the resources are under the control of private businessmen. Government still need to be involve in one way or the other to assure even distribution of wealth and resources.
The country wealth and resources will be concentrated in the hand of few individual if government is not involve to over see the economy of its country. The absent of government in business promote the power of monopoly across the country where only the rich will be getting richer and there will be no chance for the common man interest to be protected but with the present of government in the economy the interest of the common man can be protected. Government can also make policy to protect the country local industry against the foreign industry.
Government or politics in business is good cause it help to stabilize the business environment.
