  Reference : Assistance From   Andrew Husby (Economist) Interview For the global economy, 2020 is ending with a sense of hope for the future, partly built on the assumption that it can’t surely be that bad again. Such optimism is also founded on the rollout of vaccines to control the coronavirus pandemic. That means a return to some semblance of business-as-usual in the course of 2021 is now less ambitious a prospect than it once was. But that outcome would arrive too late to save many millions of jobs and the buildup of hundreds of billions of dollars in newly created public debt throughout the world. What began as a year clouded by the milder threats of a fractious U.S. presidential election, ongoing trade tensions with China, and a hard deadline for U.K. relations with the European Union soon became an existential ordeal to salvage any economic growth at all amid unprecedented lockdowns. Here’s a selection of charts with a final look at the havoc and ruin wreaked by C...

  Farmers from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have gheraoed Delhi's national capital region for the past two weeks, blocking all borders as they remain firm on their demand to repeal the contentious agriculture laws. Thousands of farmers, along with trade unions and other people have joined the protest in spite of cold winters and difficulties. The government has assured the agitators that the new laws are for their benefit, however, farmers still fear that their livelihood will be severely affected. At the centre of it all, the farmers are protesting three laws that the Government of India passed during the Monsoon Session of the Parliament in September this year. These are - the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020. They want a complete rollback of the farm laws. What does the governmen...

  Source : TheIndianExpress and TheEconomicsTimes Topic: India used to be the world’s largest economy back in ancient times, and that happened in the era of ‘Hindu kingdoms’, that is, before the ‘Muslim rulers’ invasion. Is it True? Not entirely wrong and not entirely right, and the causality is wrong. Reason Behind This? Tonnes of research by economic historians come to these broad conclusions, although debate over specifics continue. ET summarises the research. Arguements: 1. Starting from 1 AD and for a long time after that, India and China were the world’s largest and second largest economies. But that was mostly because, in the absence of technology-led productivity jumps, population determined total GDP. India and China were the most populated countries. Note also, per capita income in ancient times was low everywhere, because output was basically a function of the size of the labour force. 2. In 1500, China and India were still the largest economies. Some historians say Chin...

  The International Monetary Fund’s latest update on the World Economic Outlook released on Wednesday. In the IMF’s estimation, in 2020, growth of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) will witness a contraction of over 10%. This more than doubles the level of contraction — from 4.5% — that the IMF had projected for India just a few months ago. But more than the sharp contraction, what has caught everyone’s attention is that in 2020, the per capita income of an average Bangladeshi citizen would be more than the per capita income of an average Indian citizen. How It Started? Typically, countries are compared on the basis of GDP growth rate, or on absolute GDP. For the most part since Independence, on both these counts, India’s economy has been better than Bangladesh’s India’s economy has mostly been over 10 times the size of Bangladesh, and grown faster every year. However, per capita income also involves another variable — the overall population — and is arrived at by dividing the t...
