Empowering citizens towards transformative development in Malawi: addressing...IFPRIMaSSP
A critical look at the policy and practice trends over the past 50 years of an independent Malawi and 20 years of a democratic Malawi, it is clear that Malawi has lacked an effective developmental and democratic social contract between the state and citizens. This paper argues that at this moment and going forward there is an urgent need to find a ‘growth-enhancing’ and ‘democracy-deepening’ path to change that can stand the test of the frequent regime changes, which keeps Malawi on a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. In order to find this path, there is need to cultivate the politics of taking responsibility, transparency, and accountability, drawing these from a continued renewal of societal values at all levels. These societal values would be developed within a construct of collective action with rules of the game that work for all actors regardless of their official labels or positions. Using evidence from research, the paper provides very practical ways of doing this. This for example includes how initiatives such as the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and the Farm Input Subsidy Programme (FISP), which are currently implemented mainly out of political correctness rather than transformative change, can be turned into opportunities to reconstruct state-citizen social contracts that are ‘growth enhancing’ and ‘democracy-deepening’ from the bottom up. Development is firstly political and then technical and not the other way round. Therefore, the tough questions that exit in how politics informs development and change need to be addressed for transformative change to take place.

PRESENTATION ON ECONOMY AND SOCIALISM .pptxSomu Gupta
Economy means the collective activities of producers and consumers in a region, market, or industry.
Socialism is an economic system where everyone in society equally owns the factors of production.
Economic environment – factors
The economic environment consists of microeconomic and macroeconomic factors.
Microeconomic factors
The microeconomic environment refers to things that happen at the individual company or consumer level.
Microeconomic factors do not affect the whole economy. Below are some microeconomic factors that may influence a business:
• Competitors.
• Demand.
• Market size.
• Suppliers.
• Supply.
• How you supply your goods, i.e., the distribution chain. For example, through retail stores, distributors, the Internet, etc.
Macroeconomic factors
The macroeconomic environment, on the other hand, refers to things that affect the entire economy. Macroeconomics is concerned with general or large-scale economic factors, such as:
• Unemployment
• Inflation.
• Interest rates.
• GDP growth. GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product. In other words, is the economy in recession, is it booming, etc.
• Taxes.
• Exchange rates, i.e., how much currencies are worth in relation to one another.
• How much discretionary income consumers have, i.e., income after paying tax, social security, etc.
• Levels of consumer confidence.
• Savings rates.
Business people cannot control their economic environment. However, they can evaluate conditions in the marketplace before deciding whether to proceed with a plan or project.
In this context, the term ‘marketplace ‘means the same as ‘market‘ in its abstract sense.

Economic environment vs. environmental economics
Do not confuse the term ‘economic environment’ with ‘environmental economics.’ Although they sound similar, their meanings are quite different.
Environmental economics, a sub-field of economics, is all about environmental issues. Since the second half of the last century, environmental economics has become an increasingly popular topic.
Environmental economics looks at the economic effects of local or national environmental policies across the globe. Particular issues include the costs and benefits of alternative environmental policies that deal with water quality, air pollution, and global warming.
Components of Economic Environment
Role of Private and Public sector matters a lot in order to get investment. Because when the investors invest money, they see industry growth and the role of private sectors in the economy.
Rate of growth of GDP, GNP, and Per Capita Income, When the gross domestic product of the economy increases, it brings investment in the economy and show the growth of the economy to the investors.
Transport and Communication System helps to increase the growth of the economy. When the transport system will be good, it will increase the finished goods. When the communication system will effective, it will connect more people and will give them opportunities to do more business.
International Debt also matters in the growth of the economy. if the economy has more international debt, then the investors afraid to invest in the economy and vice-versa

What is Political Economy?
Different types of Economic Systems and its influence on planning process
Capitalism and Capitalist Planning Model
Communism and Communist Planning Model
Socialism and Socialist Planning Model
conomic Environment refers to all those economic factors, which have a bearing on the functioning of a business. Business depends on the economic environment for all the needed inputs. It also depends on the economic environment to sell the finished goods. Naturally, the dependence of business on the economic environment is total and is not surprising because, as it is rightly said, business is one unit of the total economy.
Economic environment influences the business to a great extent. It refers to all those economic factors which affect the functioning of a business unit. Dependence of business on economic environment is total — i.e. for input and also to sell the finished goods. Trained economists supplying the Macro economic forecast and research are found in major companies in manufacturing, commerce and finance which prove the importance of economic environment in business. The following factors constitute economic environment of business:
(a) Economic system
(b) Economic planning
(c) Industry
(d) Agriculture
(e) Infrastructure
(f) Financial & fiscal sectors
(g) Removal of regional imbalances
(h) Price & distribution controls
(i) Economic reforms
(j) Human resource and
(k) Per capita income and national income

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
