How does the economy affect the laws you live by?

What in the world are you talking about?

Did you buy something today? Let's say you bought a pencil: which one? Did you go to a pencil store? Did you pick a certain brand, or a particular color, or take the one nearest the register in the checkout line? Now multiply that decision making process by all the people in an area. That then is the economy of that area. For convenience it is expressed in the local currency, but really the currency doesn't matter; economy means management, and usually but not always the management of money.

It is quite a stretch to get from that concept over to how laws are made. If you think there is a connection, it is up to you to support your contention somehow. The usual connection is restriction: legislatures tend to pile on restrictions until the only way an honest man can support himself is by smuggling.
