Economics, like it or not, with the push toward globalization, economics is what makes the world go round.  And with globalization, comes the push to acquire, and even control, natural resources our planet earth has to offer.  

From crude oil found deep in the heart of Texas, precious minerals and metals mined out of the Congo, to natural gas now discovered in the Arctic as we see polar ice caps melt and erode.  The human race is built on resources, none more so than the modern era.
