[lojban-beginners] Re: Words for Politics and Economics

[Greendogo <pcm1123@gmail.com>]

So far there have been quite a few contributions in the thread, as you
should be able to see above.  But if you're asking me personally what
I've come up with, I will refrain from coming up with anything, as I
am a lowly beginner.  The words provided above by more experienced
Lojbanists are pretty satisfying already, as well as the discourse on
how best to describe political systems and related fields.
