the "political problem" is that those enacting the political system are unavoidably susceptible to the same modus operandi which capitalism prescribes for the economic system - the self-interested pursuit of wealth.
"Economic and political systems are conceptually different, though there is a lot of feedback between them."
this reminds me of wave particle duality. energy/matter qua wave is conceptually distinct from energy/matter qua particle. but there is no question of "feedback between them". "they" are both just analytic vantages on the same singular phenomena.
