(BCH Political science) I’m gonna try to give you a useful answer, but I will try to keep it simple and between the lines.
People often forget that culture and politics are incredibly close to each other regarding differences between countries. While western culture (English language, American culture) is more often focused on the democratic system due to the “discovery and rise” of it in Europe, it has certainly not picked up all over the world. While you can have Coca Cola in your country and have a large majority of people speaking English this isn’t often an example of a country that also handles liberal economics or democracy(western liberalism)
Chinese youth for example has had over the last years an obsession with American culture stuff (Wild West etc.) But liberal economics and western liberalism is far from being in China. So while a lot of European countries have taken up that democracy, liberal economics, American culturing, and speaking English it is certainly not an all in one package

Because I can’t explain “the economy” in an Reddit post entirely I will do my best in a small example/explanation.
You can see this economy as this kind of circle with some smaller circles around it. We have all decided that we will live with a system that gives us a digital or physical piece of paper to pay with. The economy revolves around the value, sustainability and usefulness of that product (money). That is the main circle.
You could see that part of the start of the main circle is raw materials, like for example that of farmers, miners and loggers. Then we need some people to transform the raw material into something. Factory workers, builders who build a house or Cooks. Then we need people to buy the iPhone, buy or invest in the building and go out to eat. The thing is that everyone in that circle pretty much needs something from not only their own profession:( Money and Maybe a house) but also from the other professions, like an iPhone or food, this does of course include the farmer who grew the ingredients for the food or the miner who dug up the gold for the iPhone. So to put it simpel it is a circle build around the needs and demands, but also the money we have chosen to exchange products with
Does that answer it a bit ?

Same question can be asked for politics.
If you say is the economy a science the answer would be: NO
If you say is the parliament or congress a science the answer would be: NO
But if you would ask is the reasoning behind certain actions, the way of working/thinking, the way of policy building, the way of managing, the different ideas and concepts in economics and politics are those science?: the answer would be: Yea

Because it would be as tiring as COVID to hear it on the news everyday.
The DOJ and the Biden administration are certainly NOT ignoring these kinds of problems because they are crucial in governing our modern states and economic systems. They just don’t feel like sharing every single detail, every single plan and everything single procedure with the masses. Because the masses have a bad record when it comes to reacting to stuff which they don’t fully understand or have a really strong but useless opinion about

Let me first start with the lobbyist part. This is part is mostly seen in systems where this is ingrained in political culture. The Netherlands for example has 1 time a year where lobbyists can go and talk to the political parties and representatives about their ideals. The rest of the year it can be seen as political fraud if handled in certain ways.
The USA Political system has a large portion of it ingrained in its economical standards. This means that it is not only ingrained but seen as normal by a lot of people, and certainly does who are in power or benefit from it. Lobbying is also part of our economical systems due to the influence on production these huge conglomerates have.
“Why haven’t we figured out a proper form of government”
I think the answer to that can be pretty short. People are and will always think different of things. If you benefit from something, then that system si great. If you do not benefit from it the system is terrible. There will always be a divide in race, class and wealth which influences our progression in political thinking

That is certainly a possibility.
We have seen in history that even the smallest differences in geographical location and population could have created different diseases. If we indeed find life on another planet then there is a big change that they have their own world of diseases, parasites and microorganisms

While I can not say a specific course, some YouTubers are pretty close to get a basic understanding of economics and everything that evolves around it.
Economics explained for example

No, while there is some proof to say that he encouraged or even managed a insurrection on the 6th of January. We can’t really say that he is a “serial insurrectionist. It was as some political scientists call it a populist wave. Trump won the election due to a bad opponent and a lot of uncertainty knowing Obama would be gone, the wars in the Middle East not going great, economic dissatisfaction (even though the economy was largely fine) and China on the rise. But after those 4 years he lost immediately to Joe Biden, and the republicans even began to keep their distance, which says a lot about how “trump was the Republican Party”

During history different kind of economic systems have been used, and we have now in our modern times found one which is until what we know the most effective in being managed, but also keeping up with the enormous economical growth.
It is that managing part which is the most important part, and you can see it fall apart the moment it does not happen. Like with corruption, bubbles, internal trading/communication and monopolies.
Economists all over the world are always trying to find improvements to the current model, or are even trying to create a new model. But a new model would require a mass transition which certainly not everybody would want or be prepared for
