Where there is politics or economics, there is no morality.

Summary

This quote suggests that in realms dominated by politics or economics, moral considerations and values may be disregarded or overridden. It implies that these domains prioritize practical considerations, self-interest, and power dynamics, often leading to the neglect or manipulation of ethical principles. This perspective highlights the potential conflict between moral ideals and the pursuit of political or economic interests, asserting that the decision-making in these areas may prioritize other factors rather than acting in adherence to a moral framework.
