During my time in Afghanistan, I had the opportunity to speak on various media platforms about economics, politics, and entrepreneurship. As a student of both business and international relations, I strongly believe that politics and economics are inseparable—nearly 95% of what happens in politics is driven by economic interests and shifts. As economist Milton Friedman famously said, "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." This statement underscores the profound impact that economic conditions have on political landscapes.

In my discussions, I explored:

• How entrepreneurship can drive economic resilience and stability in Afghanistan

• The deep connection between political decisions and economic outcomes

• The role of free speech and open dialogue in shaping a country’s future

• Strategies for fostering sustainable economic growth amid political uncertainty
