		Political economy thus begins with the observation that actual policies are often quite different from ''optimal'' policies, the latter defined as subject to technical and informational, but not political, constraints.
		In contrast, in political economy, a main focus is often the endogenous determination of the objective that is to be implicitly maximized.

		Notable thinkers have opposed this liberal tradition: Karl Marx (who rejected the conceptual distinction between politics and economics) and John Maynard Keynes (who rejected the institutional separation of politics and economics); their followers often favor "political economy" as a way of bringing politics and economics back together.

		There is nothing of all this in political society, in which the chief is so far from having any natural interest in the happiness of the individuals, that it is not uncommon for him to seek his own in their misery.
		From these distinctions, applied to each political society and its members, are derived the most certain and universal rules, by which we can judge whether a government is good or bad, and in general of the morality of all human actions.
