That's a nice series of words that doesn't really have coherent meaning: "politics" and "economics" are different names for essentially the same thing, the manner in which a society distributes power. You can't separate them -- state action is inherently economic.
That's simply not true. Under laissez-faire capitalism, the state is separated from economics except in that it must tax and spend to maintain a night-watchman state (military, courts, and police).
The only thing that state action inherently is, is coercive. (Though I'm not advocating anarchy; coersion can be moral.)
