In most Africa countries, their leaders are corrupt and they hardly do things well. I do always think of how we as member of the community can help to improve our economy. If our leaders has failed us, I believe we shouldn't fail ourself. We can still do something that can impact at least little growth to our economy

Having a leader who thinks about the interests of many people will certainly give strength to a country and will even make the country better in all fields, but if a country has a leader who only thinks about the interests of a group of people, of course the country will slowly lead to destruction and this cannot be improved as long as their leaders do not think about the fate of many people and to be able to make changes in this matter is not an easy thing to do and if they have awareness of what they are doing, of course it is very detrimental to many people but they never think about how the fate of their people.

That's the thing, people are quick to dismiss the power of a government, thinking that a person's sole success lies in the effort that he puts in and the money he can make, but the thing is, you can make a million dollars today and still have your grandkids starve in the future, why? Cause the government's fucked that the economy you're in doesn't support a good economy, and even if you're able to succeed and finally get yourself or your immediate family out of poverty? What does that have to say about your grandkids? Your great grandkids?

Talking about a more micro-approach when it comes to this right leader discussion, but I can definitely see how it pans out in the business world as well. I heard about a guy who instead of cutting corners and lay off his employees during the height of the pandemic, he stuck and invested in them, even giving them higher salaries which is severely criticized by businessmen and thought leaders all over the planet. Turns out he was right, and even amidst high attrition rates brought about by the pandemic, his company stood strong and remained up and running!

In the progress of a country, good, honest and fair leadership is very necessary to bring a country to achieve this, but in reality this is very difficult to realize because we don't know the criteria for the hearts of the leaders. At first glance, they look like they have the potential to become leaders, but after being elected, in reality This is far from what is expected, including law enforcement policies that need to take firm action to prosecute evil leaders and that is a good solution.

Economics of country depends on many criterias. Leadership matters a lot to give strength to the country but mostly politicians came in politics only for corruption. In my country, Chief Minister did a big scam and he took billion of dollars from the country 's money. If politician will do that kind of work ,progress will not happen and country will go down and down . People pay taxes from their income but government don't use this money on a constructive thing. But one I want to add , politics will be same kind as the kind of nation because they selected them as a leader.

Take trade deals: its not just numbers, its about understanding cultures and building lasting relationships. Corruption can poison everything. When leaders chase personal gain instead of whats best for the country, things fall apart. Without honesty, accountability, and leadership that cares, no amount of trade will save an economy bleeding from corruption

Look at Singapore's transformation under Lee Kuan Yew: small port city to global powerhouse. That wasnt just trade, it was cracking down on corruption and relentlessly innovating. That's leadership that makes growth happen. Compare that to resource-rich countries going nowhere. Leaders talk change, but nothing changes. The difference? Leadership that puts people first, not their own pockets. A leader's legacy isnt their bank account, its their commitment to real progress and their resistance to corruption

Anybody can be a leader but not everyone can be a leader. This theory is simple but it is misunderstood by most persons because they do not understand what we mean here. Being a leader takes so much from a persons life as such individual will dissociate any form of distraction and maintain discipline in other to develop the characteristics of a good leader. Which means anybody can develop this character easily or through difficult situations and become a successful leader. But its not everybody that is willing to develop such character and maintain consistency. It takes the willingness and dedications of serious minded individual to do that.

To become a successful community or economy you need to have a good leader, who leads to having a good trade with another country, can manage the peace between other country, and makes good decisions that make the economy more growth and people do not suffer in life. But if you face corrupt people in the government sure you can't see a good thing will happen in your community. First-hand experience with our country people face the same issue by generations until now there's no changes, people in my country easily deceived by those promises after they get the position they focus in themselves not for the people.

Do you think it is easy to be a leader? Of course, not everyone can be a leader! Every society must have its own leader, he can be formal (endowed with rights) and informal (one who leads people by virtue of his character, the ability to subjugate others). There are also several types of leadership in economics. Some people simply live by stealing from their state, engaging in corruption, and so on. And there are real professionals in their field who are able to govern the country, improve the economic system and propose ways of economic development. These are the kind of people that any state now needs.

Leadership is the defining point of any organization, country etc leadership determine how organized a people are infact the difference between two states all boil down to leadership if those in leadership position lacks the charisma to pilot the affairs of a country, organization, corporation it will definitely reflect on the general productivity of the organization

Totally agree with you, because do you know the nation of Brazil took the International Monetary Fund(IMF) loan like many other nations?  However, Brazil paid the price by committing to going into technology for the next twenty years. While others who took the loans were dying in poverty, Brazil came up on top. Why? It's because their good leaders paid the price for the nation. Today, Brazil manufacturing cars, aircraft, etc. that nation has made a good sacrifice of twenty years during which they paid their debts and turned their country around today. I'm trying to tell you what some right leaders did to turn their citizen life's around for good. So definitely good leaders can make life as a citizen, comfortable.

So you also know what Singapore did? People talking about Singapore today. The country some forty~something years ago was one of the beggary countries of the world, they were so poor that poor nations called them poor! Their situation was so bad. So what did Singapore do to change their financial situation? Singapore began to invest heavily into the educational sector of their nation. The investment was so much that over time they began to break through in major areas of information technology (IT) and science. Today, Singapore is one the world's best and most viable economies. Why? It was because the good leaders made the sacrifice for the citizens. I'm trying to show to you what a right leader can make to a life as citizen. Their good ones at there but the bad ones won't let them come up to show case there changes and impact there good things to the citizens. Will still have one person, Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for the twenty~six years for the sake of the country's freedom. He paid the price that others were afraid to pay and became the greatest African leader in the world. So I totally agree with you the right leader can make a life as a citizen, businessman or an investor comfortable for good.

I'm of the opinion that each person should be the leader of his own life. When you rely and put too much expectations on other people you end frustrating yourself. That is what happens in our countries nowadays where people put all their hopes on politicians, bosses, religious preachers as they were the final solution for their lives. And since expectations are never meet, they end frustrated, demotivated and grumpy towards everyone and everything.

And in third world countries it happens more frequently, because people are more dependent on leaders (especially on messianic figures who use manipulative tactics to gain power and influence). These countries are actually a good example of how trusting leaders doesn't bring comfort, welfare, prosperity and development. Instead of trusting leaders, people should trust themselves, or their true potential which can allow them to improve personal skills. That is how evolved socities conquered the positions they occupy right now.

Leaders have an important role of mediating a society, but that role is secondary when compared to the role each citizen should have as protagonist of his own life!

Leadership and policy are multi-faceted, making the question of how to solve this serious issue a significant one for the US economy, which is facing high debt levels. The problem cannot be avoided but can only be eliminated through proactive and coordinated actions.

To begin with, bringing the nation back to a sound financial footing requires strong leadership and a far-sighted vision. In their political agenda, leaders must view this problem as a crucial one and address its immediate solution. Additionally, economic policies that would ensure sustainable economic growth should be based on wisdom rather than populism. This includes enhancing the tax architecture so that citizens can enjoy better government revenues without any extra burden. Equally important in curbing the budget deficit is maintaining control over government spending.

The final step is to ensure that the decision-making process involves the local community. Government transparency and accountability, particularly in financial management, will help in gaining public trust and support for such necessary decisions.

Therefore, the synergy between the leader and the people who are led must be in line because the vision and mission that the government will carry out will not work if in the end the community does not want to follow it and it is a difficult situation to do because after all every head must have different thoughts which will result in pros and cons in it but that's a good thing because with the pros and cons we can take the middle point as a conclusion so that the government can carry out its duties properly and the people who are led are not burdened with the regulations in the government that occur.

If in the end this system is developed, it is indeed possible that a country or government will advance in the end but indeed to create it requires considerable sacrifice in the end.

OK, I respect your view that elected leaders in two regions have no obligation to make the lives of their citizens comfortable, but isn't the reason we elect a leader to make our lives comfortable?

with great resources and power, an elected leader of a region must be able to carry out his leadership well, let's take the example of Singapore or other strong countries such as China, we all know that these two countries have extraordinary leaders, have political conditions who is stable and one-hearted, and firm

prices of basic necessities, salary costs, exports/imports all come from the political decisions of an elected regional leader

Of course, this must be able to involve various groups in order to achieve satisfactory results for everyone, because if you only rely on a few people, of course it is very difficult to get results that satisfy everyone and to be able to implement the applicable rules, of course. Of course, existing laws must be able to be implemented indiscriminately so that when someone thinks about breaking an applicable rule they still remember the consequences that will be obtained if they violate the rule and leaders must be able to set a good example for their citizens so that the applicable rules can be implemented. carried out well and does not look at who breaks the rules, but as a leader you must look at the violations committed and provide sanctions in accordance with the applicable rules.

An ideal situation indeed, it does not always happen like that. Because politics need everyone to be close to happy otherwise your leadership fails and hence you end up appeasing everyone and in turn nobody actually develops in the right direction. While there are people who avoid all that bullshit and work like a one mad army to drive the nation in a certain development, they dont last long even though their work is revered among the next generations.

Its not always the Frostpunk game, I am afraid.

Becoming a leader is not easy because we must have a vision and mission in developing the country. A leader has a big responsibility to ensure that his people live prosperously even though they have jobs in certain fields such as in ministries spread across all existing sectors.
Cement factories are a necessity in my area because infrastructure development is so rapid now and we have the raw equipment that can be processed, but they are not processed in our place.
Job absorption can also accommodate many people if a cement factory is built so that people have jobs. But unfortunately our government did not prioritize it so the cement factory failed to be built. That's why I say the government must have a clear vision in building because otherwise things that have almost been built will just disappear.

A Million Simulations, One Verdict for US Economy: Debt Danger Ahead
Bloomberg Economics ran a million forecast simulations on the US debt outlook. 88% of them show borrowing on an unsustainable path.

The Congressional Budget Office warned in its latest projections that US federal government debt is on a path from 97% of GDP last year to 116% by 2034 — higher even than in World War II. The actual outlook is likely worse.
From tax revenue to defense spending and interest rates, the CBO forecasts released earlier this year are underpinned by rosy assumptions. Plug in the market’s current view on interest rates, and the debt-to-GDP ratio rises to 123% in 2034. Then assume — as most in Washington do — that ex-President Donald Trump’s tax cuts mainly stay in place, and the burden gets even higher.

How can these problems be solved taking into account leadership and economics?

Yes, I agree because increasing economic growth requires policies, strategies and economic systems that are pro-community and designed systematically so that they can be comfortable. Therefore, to increase economic growth, leadership support is needed. Success and failure are greatly influenced by the leader's policies, namely how far the implementers plan, mobilize, motivate, direct and communicate in increasing economic growth. If the leader is not good, it will be very difficult for the economy to grow because the strategy and system will not work well.
