The political model that emphasizes the role of economic factors in shaping politics is known as economic determinism. This perspective posits that economic conditions and class structures fundamentally influence political decisions, ideologies, and social relations. According to this model, power dynamics arise from economic inequalities and relations of production. As a result, political behavior and institutions are viewed as responses to overarching economic structures. This model helps explain how economic interests drive policy formulation and ultimately impacts governmental authority and social change.
