Economics of Chanakya
by abboral boral on Apr 21, 2009 01:56 PM  | Hide replies

One should read carefully the book ARTHASASTRA written by Chanakya ,the great saint cum finance cum home Minister of Chandra Gupta Marya some 2000 years ago .He has written various measures to run a successfull economy of a country .Alas no body practised Chanakya economy instead follow all kind of hollow subjects from the so called Nobel Laurate Western Economists who never followed how economy benefits large no people instead few rich people .Amartya Sen written some what correct procedure of economics with social cause .We should now think about Canakya economics whether it can help at this present economic crisis

Instead of writing such bulls hit, you must demonstrate the validity of "chanakynomics" by predicting the recession. So far no "chanakynomist"
predicted although there are several such people in BJP and Sunk Parivar who swear by chanakya.

Without reading the book ,one should not comment on the Canakyaeconomics .I hope Pratham should read and then write whether anything is there regarding prediction of recession or not .I have read the book and found the answer but unfortunately we cannot debate in length in this forum

I have not read his entire treatise but have read about 60 to 70% of it. There is nothing so unique there that others don't know. maybe it was a unique thing that time but today, tools available for research are lot better defined. Modern econnomics is anyday far advanced and better than what Chanakya said. BJP just likes to create emotional issues for people, I think.

I calculated and a hope that congress will get 133 seats in this election, but after the 1st phase election, I have to rectify the same to 103 (most likely congress is not going to get 3 figure) if they cross 2 figure i.e. 99 then will end to 103 sure. In Kerala congress only is getting 1 seat, 2 muslim league and 1 kerala conagress totally upa get 4 seats while LDA bag 14, remaining 2 will got to ncp 1 and bjp1 (bjp is assumed to get 1 seat at Trivandrum loooking to the low percentage of voting if not this will go to LDF)

Who said there was no prediction ??
by Pratham on Apr 21, 2009 01:54 PM  | Hide replies

Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes have clearly predicted
that recession is essential part of Capitalism.

Even this time Paul Krugman had predicted the present recession on the basis of the works of the above.

It is only that half baked economists like B-school products do not know this.

No harm in having a recession dude.. When you raise u tend to fall.. It is not fair to say i didnt fall without even thinking of raising.

Counter measure of recession?
by aniruhd kaushik on Apr 21, 2009 01:53 PM

First of all reduce the house rent and commercial rent and property prices,which is artificially very high and it is at this level because of Mafia and Govt. Mafia.If this reduces, people have some extra money to spend on goods and services, thereby, stimulate demand. Monetary measures wont help at all. It will just help in creating and sustaining the bubble that is going to be burst just after the election.

Good Economists!
by Ravi krishnan on Apr 21, 2009 01:53 PM

Godd economists are one who will bring down a good economy; Good economists are one who will do nothing when an economy is going down; Good economists are one who will ask you to be calm when the economy has been completely destroyed; Good economists are one who live a good life by forcing you to live in economy; Good economists are one who will settle abroad after blaming the people and the opposition for not doing enough!!!!

Congress has no guts
by Iadmire on Apr 21, 2009 01:46 PM  | Hide replies

I have seen most of the congress supporters are not ready to have a fruitful and healthy discussion... at all. They will simply copy and paste the same message again and again... Why dont they put forward their point on what congress had done in their 50 years of rule to the country...? We all know nothing... but poor to poor people...

you are right. For congress 50 years is not yet sufficient to eradicate povery.
Recently, Rahul visited AP and said, Congress is the only party which can take care of Poor people.
It means they maintain poverty so that they can take care of them lifelong.

Wintersun,

I appreciate that i can see atlast one congress person who has joined the debate... Good... Fist of all, you need to understand that it was because of congress we got independence late... If they would have supported the Netaji subash chandra bose we would have got it even earlier... Secondly, please tell me what congress has done for the past 50 years... Still farmers commit suicide, only 18% of indian family has toilet facilities... almost 10 lakhs people already have lost their jobs... It is the most corrupted government that india ever witnessed... ex (Parliament vote scam, 1991 stock market scam, telecom scam etc) Atleast i would agree that everybody is doing corruption but congress is above the roof... If that is the case why MMS is not ready to have a live debate with advani... if congress is corrupt free government why dont MMS and sonia raise a strong voice against black money in switzerland and germany... Why still 60% of people in india are below poverty line... Why that number keep increasing... Please answer me...
