The Political-Economy…



Economics or Political-Economy, one and the same, has a direct link with the standard-of–living of a country which is the product of higher-growth-rate, the barometer to measure the rate of improvement in the productivity and wages, and, demand and growth which may or might have a correlation with the lives of the country-men for which a low and constant un-employment-rate and price-level is must because of the same and same demand and supply, the former same because, of the key-words in Economics  and the latter same is because the quantity-demanded must match quantity-supplied to fulfill the aforesaid objectives but, in the real-world the match is often absent due to inconsistent monetary and fiscal policies dependent on the data delay and availability for transmission of signals, action and change in the economic variables and higher growth could be related to the higher-investment, though not in case of higher inflation because that would require tightening and higher unemployment and lower-prices to restore value of money and equilibrium between demand and supply by managing interest-rate or natural-real-rates, the money-rate or nominal-rate of interest (minus) .the rate of inflation. Lower-natural-real-interest-rate could linked to higher-investment, higher-supply, lower unemployment, and, higher-demand and spending - consumption and investment - even across economies, international-trade has a role since it may help to lower the price-level in the long-run, beyond five-years, and it would also increase demand in the trading-partners economies and they would demand more exports and could help-us earn foreign-exchange, wealth would increase, in the old-times gold, which would also increase employment and lower-poverty because it would also increase taxes and the government-spending on education and research and, skill-development to increase innovation and productivity, and, real wages and demand, and economic-growth or GVA (the Gross-Value-Added after deducting the deflator), in the domestic-economy  and also externally. All the three - monetary-policy, fiscal-policy, and the foreign-trade-policy are responsible to achieve the NAIRU (Non-Accelerating –Rate-of-un-employment). The NAIRU is that rate of un-employment at which the rate of change in the general-price-level does not reduce the value of money, and, demand and economic growth-rate, in case of lower prices money-supply is loosened and when there is inflation the money-supply is tightened which help maintain full-employment and price-stability to achieve the projected economic-growth.


It is also true for INDIA…
