What makes this answer misleading is ignoring the influence of citizens on the state’s general policies, even in countries that pay lip service to democracy, and the control of political elites in those countries, where their control is limited and very narrow interests in favor of some power centers that do not care about their people or their interests, and their interest is limited to very few class interestsof its citizens, in addition to the absence of the language of dialogue in thought between the spectra of that country and even with other countries.
The origin in thought is that it is a dialogue between “no” and “yes” and the shadows and spectra between them, so neither absolute blind rejection is thought, nor is blind absolute acceptance considered thought; For in the first is “the stubbornness of children,” and in the second, “obedience to slaves.”
The "masters of nations", whom Adam Smith considered to be the merchants and industrialists, who coalesce into large multinational companies and their financial and commercial interests, starting with the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization and ending with the Group of Seven, who represent the nucleus of the era of modern imperialism, and who control and direct military forces as they pleaseTo serve their interests, and this means that the answer to the question *Who rules the world?* It is a mixture of politicians and economists, that is, we can say that the masters of nations are the masters of mankind who rule and control them and do not represent them openly, but they monopolize everything.
The innate axiomatic truth still exists, as Allah created his servants upon, which is represented in following a well-established constitution and human freedom codified by a righteous religion, and not the false freedom that is dominated by man-made thought that serves their interests.
Deviation or detachment from any man-made law is nothing but a departure from the wisdom of God’s creation for us and a deviation from instinct.
