1. Capitalism is a very flawed system but others are much worse.

Winston churchill
Capitalism also have some of the flaws but as far as India is concerned, capitalism is best to
support its economy and do wonders in providing employment to the major section of Indian
population. Socialism sounds good as it promise equality but here in India nepotism and
corruption being the most anchored part of the system hardly let this promise fulfilled.
Capitalism promotes industry, entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity. It develops an
environment of fair competition which result in better products and services to its customers.
Monopoly, one of the outcome of capitalism which most of the people fear about can be
checked with the proper involvement of the government (at least we can expect this much
form our patriotic policy makers to come up with some good policies and not set up cartel
with some organization to fleece poor Indians).
Capitalism is a system of economics under which ownership of production and distribution
depends chiefly upon corporations and private individuals.
In the long-range account presented in India in the World Economy, Nehruvian India
emerges as a blip. Thirty-odd years later India opened up again to foreign trade, thus
returning to its capitalistic roots. The success of the new economic regime built on two
ingredients, one old and one new. But it also drew strengths from post-1947 developments
such as the green revolutions and the pursuit of democratic and representational politics.

We cannot say, however, that the Indian economy today bears no resemblance to the economy
of several centuries ago. The cleavage between the agricultural interior and the cosmopolitan
and outward-looking commercial towns continues to be deep, as in the past, and their politics
remain divergent. Indeed, that misaligned politics is a source of uncertainty for economic
policy and for the future of liberalism in India.

We have long moaned and groaned about crooked Indian businessmen who inflate profits,
hide liabilities, manipulate markets, and break a hundred laws. But the US scandals show that
crooked businessmen exist everywhere. They indulged in fictitious sales to one another to
create the illusion of a boom in revenue. Big oil companies are being investigated for rigging
petrol prices. Crooked behaviour is not uniquely Indian or American. It is inherent in human
behaviour, and can reach great heights in a capitalist system.

Businessmen seek to enrich themselves, not society. But competitive, transparent markets
force businessmen to compete on a level playing field, because of which the main gains of all
their innovation and enterprise go to consumers. No wonder they find the profit motive a
morally unacceptable basis for ordering an economic system .Winston Churchill once said
that democracy is a very flawed system, but all the others are so much worse. The same is

true of capitalism: it is a very flawed system but the others are so much worse. all political
parties hide their political liabilities and exaggerate their political assets? politicians in a
democracy also claim to represent the national interest while feathering their own nests.

There are many criminals in business. There are many criminals in politics too. The use of
money, muscle and influence to sabotage rivals and competition is a feature of democracy no
less than of capitalism. Why, despite all this, do we regard democracy as the best political
system? Because it is grounded in choice for the ordinary man, and freedom to choose is a
paramount virtue that makes other freedoms possible. Capitalism creates a market for
material goods. In both cases, the freedom to choose gives the ordinary man in the street
greater power than the biggest political or economic giant. By shifting his vote, the ordinary
citizen can oust the most entrenched politician, and by shifting his custom he can bankrupt
the most entrenched company.

capitalism lets an individual to his free will. This clearly implies that socialism is a breach of
human rights and freedom. To ensure human rights we must employ capitalism.

There are problems with capitalism too. Individuals can thrive natural resources, the increase
in the gap between rich and poor.But this can be controlled by natural resources.Natural
resources are those which belongs to everyone.

Government should give subsidies to those who are really poor. A developed country is a
country in which citizens are well developed. If citizens are reluctant for development,
government cant develop. When government is giving subsidies poor people are very happy
to live like poor. So it is left to the poor whether to leave their poverty by working or not. If
they cant work, government is still giving them subsidies, they can use the previliges but
they must not remain in poverty so long.
The most important of all that government must do is to educate its citizens about their rights
and law.
Socialism + Democracy is joke but Capitalism + Democracy is an act of preserving human
rights. Indian system (mixed economy) is a good system but it must be more capitalistic to be
executed effectively.
