Abstract: The rationality of economic decisions is the main objective of economic science, which proposes to determine the laws and relationships between economic variables that are susceptible to logical or mathematical treatment. However, the project of making economic analysis partially independent of other social sciences is not satisfactory. Political conditions between states, the importance of international organizations in economics, security issues and power relations between allied or enemy states, public and private indebtedness, the importance of sovereign wealth funds, the rise of modern production technologies, ecological issues or global warming are finally too little integrated into the reflections of economic theorists, which contributes to the unpredictability of economists' forecasts in the short term. They remind us that economics is deeply political, especially in a situation of increasing economic globalization, with a main hypothesis of peace.
