The main reason I observe nationalpolitics is as a matter of empathy with a nation, or group of nations. Otherwise macroeconomic phenomena are largely ignorable, while one focuses on microeconomic work.
Empathy with sad situations begets sadness, so I largely avoid it. Yet I have spent years of my life moderately studying what I largely avoid. Most politics on earth is about the manipulation of power, and undeniably all commerce is just local politics.
On the microeconomic scale, macroesthetic control is largely derived from microesthetic control, but that is a wholly separate issue. Around the age of 14, my macroesthetic interests* involved computing, math, and science.
From 15 to 20, I put more emphasis on studying history and culture, as a matter of understanding the origins of the present - I focused this period on non-commercial and non-political domains, as that was allocated for the period afterwards. By accident I become quite well-versed with microesthetic work.
Then from 20 to 39, I devoted myself to a study of commerce and politics, without too much effort - simply participating in businesses and conversations in my own neighbourhood, which I did not suppose I understood, which I wished to understand better.
At 39+ I had the opportunity to take a pause from these studies of nearly two decades. Since then, I have been reorienting to work that I personally enjoy*.
It has however, also been a good time to extend my study of commerce and politics beyond my immediate neighbourhood ... and to look at my own country as a whole. In doing so, I also have been able to afford time to further understand the relationship between my country and the other countries of this world.
