What is the impact of globalization on India's agricultural sector?

Globalization affects every econmic sector - for the better nad worse, per se. In the agricultural sector, crop imports could be traded at cheaper prices, and could be exchange for another commodity becasue of the free trade - as entailed among the provisions of WTO. In this way, countries that rely primarily on agriculture (i.e. the Philippines), could purchase or import crops from another country at cheaper tariff rates, in case of a shortage. However, on the downside, countries that are more progressive agriculturally could just dump their third-rate or low-class products to their third-world trading counterpart. Thus, poor quality products could be received by the "lesser" country. "Quality Control" of the traded products is the main issue. The same thing holds true for the industrial sector. Exchnage of technoligical and industrial products will definitely exist. Both prducts may benefit mutually. Nonetheless, a possible detraction is again the instances of poor imported products from the superior countries, just like in the issue of the agricultural sector. Simply put, Globalization has its benefits as well as disadvantages. But generally, the free trade among nations - its exisitng policies - must be reviewed in order to protect the developing countries from receiving low-class imports. These countries are yet to adjust and compete globally, they are not ready to enter the fray and go head-to-head with the titans. Therefore, it must be imperative that the governing rules must be ammended. Although the free trade is yet to completely implemented, at least on the Philippine setting, nevertheless, it must be reviewed to protect and given cushion to the developing nations.


What are levels of economic activities?

"What are England's levels of economic activity?" Strange travel question ;-) Are you aware of the great detail your question requires? And that your question has more to do with societal infrastructure rather than travel. Nevertheless, economic analysis Amanda Toop offers the following: Best wishes Neo-liberal economic reform is based on an economic model known as Import Substituting Industrialization, which advocates less state involvement and regulation of the economy, less government spending, and more emphasis on the private sector and foreign trade. This economic model is based on the economic thought of Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, which reflects thought following Britian's Industrial Revolution. The origins of economic growth were found to be the unhindered operation of the market, and Smith and his followers criticized any attempts by the government to to interfere with the market as likely to damage growth. David Ricardo(1772-1823) extended such ideas to trade between nations and wages, arguing that "like all other contracts, wages should be left to the fair and free competition of the market." The basis for International Monetary Fund programs is found in the second strain of neoliberal thought, monetarism, which is the theory that the change in the monetary supply will lead to an overall corresponding change in the level of prices, but not the output of employment. This theory was developed by Irving Fisher(1867-1947) as the "quantitative theory of money", which was revived by Milton Friedman in the 1960's following John Keynes's General Theory(1936). Classical economics formed the basis for the laissez-faire economic policies of the Victorian age, but the Great Depression convinced many people that the unhindered workings of the market were potentially dangerous. During this time the state adopted a central role in economic management, but during the 1960's these policies ran into trouble and the world looked again towards the simplicity of Smith's model. Today, the solution to underdevelopment is seen as a three stage economic transformation, stabilization, structural adjustment, and export led growth. Stabilization is the process of stopping runaway inflation. Neoliberals believe that inflation can be curbed by reducing the monetary supply through cutting public spending, enacting wage controls, and raising interest rates. Unfortunately, when public spending is cut to reduce budget deficits, social programs are the first to go, reducing heath and education programs for the poor that really need them. In addition to these polices, currencies are usually devalued, creating a trade surplus to ensure that a country does not default on its loans to commercial banks, the IMF, and the World Bank. Stabilization is then followed by a structural adjustment period, that removes artificial price controls and/or trade tariffs. When the economy is restructured, the state's control is removed in favor of the private sector. Deregulation of the economy is also followed by the deregulation of the work force, which allows companies to hire/fire workers with greater ease, restrict union activity, and encouraging subcontracting and short-term contracts. In order to keep the budget balanced, revenue is increased through sales taxes and privatization, in addition to the lower levels of government spending. Export-led growth is the final path to economic recovery. Exports are given the largest priority and private businesses are expected to search out new markets for their products. Removing trade barriers is supposed to aid this process by insuring that the market will allocate resources efficiently, allowing business to cut costs by importing the cheapest goods available. Export-led growth also encourages foreign investors to bring in new technology and capital. The problems with export-led growth will be further investigated in the next sections of this site. What are England's levels of economic activity?" More information pertaining to your question. Best wishes United Kingdom (England) Economy - overview: The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is one of the quintet of trillion dollar economies of Western Europe. Over the past two decades the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. GDP growth slipped in 2001-03 as the global downturn, the high value of the pound, and the bursting of the "new economy" bubble hurt manufacturing and exports. Output recovered in 2004, to 3.2% growth, but fell in 2005, to 1.8%. Despite slower growth, the economy is one of the strongest in Europe; inflation, interest rates, and unemployment remain low. The relatively good economic performance has complicated the BLAIR government's efforts to make a case for Britain to join the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Critics point out that the economy is doing well outside of EMU, and they cite public opinion polls that continue to show a majority of Britons opposed to the euro. Meantime, the government has been speeding up the improvement of education, transport, and health services, at a cost in higher taxes and a widening public deficit.


Do the rothchild's own the federal reserve?

While some conspiracy theorists suggest that banking families like the Rothchilds do indeed "own" the Federal Reserve (even by their words, "own" is loosely used), there is no hard evidence to suggest it is true. Banks are required to buy stock in the Federal Reserve (this is a tool of the Federal Reserve called the reserve ratio) in order to licensed as banks. Thus, it has lead some to believe that banking families indeed "own" the Fed. Another View Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws. --- Mayer Amsched Rothchild, a prominent European banker in the eighteenth century If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. --- Thomas Jefferson I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. --- Thomas Jefferson The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. --- Curtis Dall (Franklin D. Roosevelt's son-in-law), My Exploited Father-in-Law Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. --- President Woodrow Wilson, 1913 This Federal Reserve Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President (Wilson) signs this bill the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalized. --- Hon. Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., Dec. 23, 1913 We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominate men. I have unwittingly betrayed my country. --- President Woodrow Wilson, 1916 In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers... An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers. --- U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917 The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen... At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties. --- New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922 From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemberg, and Emma Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire. --- Winston Churchill, l922. We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. --- Professor Arnold Toynbee, l931 Institute for the Study of International Affairs. For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support... The UN is but a long range, international banking apparatus nearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One World Revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power... The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market... The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. --- Curtis Dall, from My Exploited Father-in-Law The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson. --- letter to Colonel House by Franklin D. Roosevelt, November 21st, l933 Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure." --- Joseph Kennedy, July 26th, l936 New York Times. We shall have world government whether or not you like it by conquest or consent. --- James Warburg member Council on Foreign Relations speaking before Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950 The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes. --- Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952 Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government a bureaucratic elite. --- Senator William Jenner, 1954 The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all powerful one world government." --- Harpers magazine, l958 The case for government by elites is irrefutable. --- Senator William Fulbright, Former chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 1963 The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation states involved. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future. --- Senator Barry Goldwater l964 from his book: With No Apologies The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland; a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks, which were themselves, private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups. --- Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time 1966, Professor Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University. The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key decision making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one world dictatorship. --- Congressman John Rarick 1971 The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down... but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault. --- Council on Foreign Relations member Richard Gardner, l974 The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super capitalism and Communism under the same tent; all under their control... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent. --- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976 I never thought the Federal Reserve System would prove such a failure. The country is in a state of irretrievable bankruptcy. --- Senator Carter Glass 1983 We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. --- David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, address to The Trilateral Commission, June, 1991. In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all. --- Strobe Talbott, Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, Time Magazine, July 20th, l992. Robert B. Reich, former Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration, made these statements as reported in USA Today, January 7, 1999: The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress have become increasingly irrelevant... In case you hadn't noticed, America's domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board. Their decisions about interest rates are determining how many of us have jobs and how many of us get a raise. When the Fed's Open Market Committee decides to lower the rates, unemployment drops and wages rise. When they raise rates, it's just the opposite. When they decide to hold rates steady, as they did last week, the economy continues to move in whatever direction it was already going... Congress is out of the loop... America's foreign policy, mean while, is now being run by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with some coaching from the Treasury Department... Here, too, Congress has become irrelevant. Some senators and House members fussed a bit when the administration asked for tens of billions of additional dollars for the IMF. But in the end, the elected representatives came through... And when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress. He just calls up a few generals, phones Tony Blair in Britain and sends in the bombers. Have you seen a single congressional hearing or congressional debate on the U.S.-Iraqi war? If the above quotes do not convince you of your awful situation just take a look at the very notes you carry in your pockets. On the series 1928 Federal Reserve Note it said that the note was: Redeemable in gold on demand at the United States Treasury or in gold or lawful money at any Federal Reserve Bank. On the series 1934 Federal Reserve Note it said: This note is legal tender for all debts public and private and is redeemable in lawful money at the United States Treasury or at any Federal Reserve Bank. On the series 1963 Federal Reserve Note and through to today it says: This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.
