It is in the important position he holds, who somehow manages the destinies of many ordinary citizens. Do you think he should have an economic education or should he be from the social sphere?
A good politician should be passionate about the well-being of the citizens of his country. He should be selfless and law-abiding and above the law. Having sound economic knowledge will be an added advantage but it shouldn't be a basic criterion. This is because he can appoint a good economic adviser that will assist him in making good economic decisions. Therefore I think a politician that has a good character will perform better than those that have higher degrees in economics.
I believe that the social well-being of an individual will control other aspects of the person's life. In my country, some of the politicians that steal and act above the law are well-educated while we have also had politicians that have performed better without any economic education
