You're going to have to aggressively prove your thesis. If your professor knows his a** from a hole in the ground, I don't think you can. My experience (Latin America) says politics ARE economics. It's all about who has the power to control the distribution of wealth. "Politics" is nothing more than the rhetoric used to motivate the peasants who will do the actual fighting. Peasants - the foot soldiers - are manipulated by politicians because socio-economic conditions give them a "handle" they can use to motivate the (unwashed) masses. Food for thought - all of the -isms (capitalism, socialism, fascism, communism, etc.) are ECONOMIC systems.
