1. Economics has been defined in various ways by different economists over time. Early definitions by Adam Smith and others focused on wealth, while Marshall defined economics as studying how people cooperate to meet material needs and maximize welfare. 2. Robbins provided an influential definition, defining economics as studying human behavior with limited resources that have alternative uses. This focused on scarcity rather than welfare. 3. Modern definitions, like those from Keynes and Benham, emphasized factors that determine a country's national income, output, employment and economic growth stability over time.

Welfare economics
Welfare economics deals with topics related to economic growth and development, such as justice, equity, freedom, and individual welfare. It assumes individuals are the best judges of their own welfare. Economic growth refers to an increase in per capita income, while economic development is a process whereby real per capita income increases over time. Development theories include the Harrod-Domar model, exogenous growth model, surplus labor model, and Rostow's stages of growth model. Measuring national income can be done via the product, expenditure, and income methods. The expenditure method defines national income as the total of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.
Mellor`s model of agriculture development
Mellor divides agriculture into 3 phases: 1) Traditional agriculture characterized by small family farms with low productivity. 2) Technologically dynamic agriculture with low capital inputs like fertilizers and improved seeds. 3) High capital agriculture utilizing machinery. Mellor argues traditional agriculture must transition to phase 2 using institutional and educational reforms to boost inputs before moving to phase 3 with increased farm sizes and mechanization supported by a developed non-farm sector.
Biological theories of population
In this slide discussed about the biological theories of the population by different famous biologist.
Economic Ideas of Dadabhai Naoroji
Dada Bhai Naoroji (1815-1917) was the first Indian to occupy a seat in the British parliament. He argued that British colonial policies drained India's wealth and resources, impoverishing the Indian people. Specifically, he believed the drain of taxes, salaries, and business profits to Britain, as well as excessive spending on European administration and military activities, prevented India's economic development and caused widespread poverty. Naoroji suggested reducing this drain by equalizing salaries between British and Indian officials and limiting military expenditures. He is regarded as a founder of Indian economic thought and nationalism.
History of Economic Thought
The document discusses ancient economic thought from the Hebrews and Greeks. It provides an overview of key economic ideas from these early civilizations, including Plato's concept of the ideal state. For the Hebrews, it outlines their simple economic philosophy and notes characteristics like a lack of individualism. For the Greeks, it examines Plato's view of the division of labor and origin of the city-state. Plato proposed a rigid social hierarchy and strict regulation of all activities in his ideal state. The summary then focuses on specific aspects of Plato's ideal state model, including his concept of money, interest, and regulated trade and commerce.
need for agricultural Policy
Agriculture is the main source of income and employment in rural areas, especially in poorer countries where it is often the principal employer. Agricultural growth is key to reducing both rural and urban poverty. Agricultural policy instruments include government expenditures on infrastructure, price and trade controls, direct management of production and marketing, improving product and factor markets, developing adequate institutions, and establishing legislative frameworks. However, there is skepticism that current policies primarily benefit large corporations and prioritize high-yield technologies over small farmers and more sustainable approaches.

1. Market failure occurs when private costs and benefits differ from social costs and benefits, leading to an inefficient allocation of resources.
2. For environmental goods like air and water, market failure arises because there are no property rights, they are non-rival and non-excludable public goods, and pollution externalities are not priced into production.
3. Externalities can be corrected by taxing polluters an amount equal to the external cost imposed on society, known as a Pigouvian tax, which internalizes the externality into the firm's production decision and leads to a more efficient market outcome.
HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT - PLATO
Plato was a Greek philosopher who wrote The Republic, one of the first works of political philosophy. In The Republic, Plato argues that the ideal government should be led by philosophers. Plato believed that the division of labor was the basis for social organization and that natural inequalities among humans led to specialization of tasks. He proposed an ideal social structure divided into two classes - rulers who were educated in philosophy and warfare, and ruled artisans who engaged in production. The rulers would not possess private property.

welfare economics
Welfare economics analyzes the optimal allocation of resources and goods to maximize social welfare. It considers both total welfare achieved and how it is distributed. Pareto optimality is a state where no individual can be made better off without making another individual worse off. Ricardian rent theory states that rent arises from differences in land fertility and is determined by the price of agricultural output, not the other way around. Quasi rent is the temporary surplus earned on capital equipment when supply is fixed in the short run.
Main ideas of physiocrats
The Physiocrats contributed three important economic ideas: the concept of natural order, the concept of net product, and the circulation of wealth. They viewed natural order as the providential system established by God for humanity's welfare. They believed agriculture was the sole source of wealth and that it was the only productive sector, producing a net product (surplus). This net product was distributed through the economy via the circulation of wealth among the three classes of society: the productive agricultural class, the proprietary landowning class, and the sterile/unproductive non-agricultural class. Quesnay illustrated this circulation through his Tableau Economique, demonstrating how wealth originates from agriculture and circulates through the classes.
Harris-Todaro Migration Model and it's Applicability in Bangladesh
This document presents on the Harris-Todaro Migration Model and its applicability in Bangladesh. It provides background on the model, which was developed in response to rural-urban migration despite high urban unemployment. The model predicts that expected incomes across rural and urban sectors will equalize when factoring informal work. While the model applies to Bangladesh due to wage differentials and higher earning potential in cities, push factors like natural disasters and marriage are also significant drivers of migration in Bangladesh. Therefore, the Harris-Todaro model explains some migration patterns but not completely for Bangladesh.
Theory of Technical dualism
The theory of Technical dualism is one of the theories of dualism. Professor Higgins has developed the theory of Technological Dualism. By this, he means: "The use of different production functions in the advance sector and in the traditional sectors of UDCs".
Optimum
The document discusses the concept of optimum population, which refers to a population size that allows for a balanced relationship between population and resources. It is introduced as an economic concept concerned with quality of life. Optimum population occurs when a country's population is able to fully utilize available resources, resulting in the highest possible standard of living and per capita output. A few economists' definitions are provided, relating optimum population to maximum social welfare, income per head, or standard of living. Criteria for assessing optimum population include per capita income, employment, consumption, and resource usage.
Evolution of Economic thought - Lecture 8
Karl Menger and Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk were influential early contributors to the Austrian School of economics in the late 1800s.
Menger developed the theory of marginalism, rejecting classical cost-based theories of value. He argued that price is determined by marginal utility rather than production costs. Bohm-Bawerk further developed theories of profits, interest rates, and capital based on Menger's marginalism. He distinguished profits from interest and argued interest exists due to the technical superiority of present goods over future goods in roundabout production processes. Both Menger and Bohm-Bawerk were influential teachers and helped establish the Austrian School approach to economics based on subjective value and marginal analysis.
Concept of economics
This document discusses different definitions of economics provided by prominent economists over time. It begins by distinguishing between economics and economy. It then outlines four main categories of definitions provided by Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, Lionel Robbins, and Paul Samuelson. Adam Smith defined economics as the inquiry into the wealth of a nation. Alfred Marshall defined it as the study of ordinary business of life. Lionel Robbins defined it as the study of human behavior in relationship to scarce means and alternative uses. Samuelson defined it as the study of how society chooses to employ scarce resources to produce and distribute goods over time.
Bergson social welfare function(1).pptx
The Bergson social welfare function was introduced to provide a scientifically normative study of welfare economics. It defines social welfare as a function of the welfare of each member of the community, depending on factors like their consumption and services. The function establishes a relation between social welfare (W) and the utility levels (U) of each individual (U1, U2, etc.), representing social welfare as an increasing function of individual utilities. It assumes social welfare depends on individual wealth/income and distribution of welfare, and allows for interpersonal comparisons of utility. However, the concept has been criticized for not applying to all governments, being difficult to construct, arbitrary, and not empirically significant or helpful for solving problems.
Schumpeter Theory of Economic Development
Schumpeter's theory of economic development centers around the concept of "creative destruction", where innovations introduced by entrepreneurs periodically revolutionize the economic structure and cause long-term growth. He argues that development occurs in discontinuous bursts due to new innovations, rather than gradually. While innovations fuel capitalist progress, Schumpeter believes capitalism will eventually decline as large firms replace entrepreneurs and undermine private property.
Trends in migration in india
This document is a project report submitted by Manoj Thadani to the University of Mumbai for their Master of Commerce program. The report examines trends in migration within India. It includes an introduction, definitions of migration, different types of migration, causes of migration, reasons for migration, key findings from the Indian NSSO survey on migration from 2007-2008, and a conclusion. The NSSO survey found that around 30% of Indians are migrants, with most migration occurring within states rather than between states. It also analyzed patterns of intra-state, inter-state, rural-urban migration and reasons for migration.
Boserup theory of agricultural development
- Esther Boserup developed the Boserup Theory of Agricultural Development which refutes Malthus' theory of population growth.
- She argued that population growth leads to technical and other changes in agriculture that result in increased food production rather than famine.
- Boserup identified 5 stages of agricultural development that societies progress through due to increasing population density: forest fallow, bush fallow, short fallow, annual cropping, and multiple cropping. Each stage requires more intensive use of land and labor.
- Her theory claims population growth is the driving force behind innovation and improvements in farming techniques throughout history in order to feed more people.
Microeconomics meaning, definition nature and scope
Microeconomics is the study of individual economic decision-makers and the markets in which they interact. It focuses on factors that affect individual choices and how those choices are coordinated through markets. The three main goals of microeconomics are determining what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. It analyzes the theory of demand, the behavior of firms, and the demand for labor and other production factors. The document provides definitions of microeconomics from various economists and outlines the key concepts that will be covered, including consumer behavior, demand and supply analysis, production and cost analysis, and market equilibrium.
The Jevons Paradox
Had a presentation today for the subject: History of Economic Thought.
The requirements were to present a theory with its historical background, its definition and practicality and implementation.
So, I researched for some historical theories and found out about this paradox presented by William Stanley Jevons. Go on, have a look, use it and increase the overall pleasure !
Welfare economics
1. Welfare economics analyzes how economic policies affect overall social welfare. Classical welfare economics assumed welfare was additive and could be quantitatively measured and compared between individuals.
2. New welfare economics is normative rather than positive and recognizes welfare cannot be cardinally measured, only ordinally. It compares the relative social welfare of different economic states. Scholars like Hicks, Pigou, Kaldor and Scitovsky contributed to developing new welfare economics.
3. The Hicks-Kaldor compensation principle states that if one group gains from a policy change while another loses, but the gainers could potentially compensate the losers and still be better off, then the change increases social welfare. Scitovsky

David ricardo
This document summarizes David Ricardo's theory of economics development known as Ricardian theory. It discusses Ricardo's background and key contributions, including the law of comparative advantage. It then outlines the assumptions of Ricardian theory, including diminishing returns to land and inelastic demand for corn. Ricardo's theory explains how total output is distributed as rent, profits, and wages. It also discusses how capital accumulation, wages, international trade, and criticisms of the theory relate to Ricardian economics.
The law of diminishing marginal utility
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as consumption of a good increases, the marginal utility from each additional unit decreases. Initially a thirsty man derives great utility from the first glass of water but each successive glass provides less additional satisfaction. While the law generally holds, there are exceptions like intoxicants where marginal utility may increase with consumption. The law has practical implications for production, household expenditures, taxation policy and more.
HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT - GREEKS
The ancient Greeks made major achievements in philosophy, literature, art, architecture, and the development of economics as a field of study. They were pioneers in democratic government and established many cultural institutions still important today. Some key Greek innovations included establishing the first universities, developing astronomy and mathematics, holding the first Olympic games, and advances in architecture like temples with columns. Greek society was dominated by free citizens and slave labor, with education primarily for wealthy males. Their intellectual legacy has profoundly shaped Western thought and culture over 2000 years later.
Lewis theory of_unmlimited_supply_of_labour
Lewis proposed that less developed countries could stimulate growth by exploiting their unlimited supplies of labor. His model assumes these countries have high populations engaged in subsistence work, making labor perfectly elastic at that wage. The economies are dual, with a subsistence sector employing most workers at low productivity and a capitalist sector using capital. Growth occurs as labor moves from subsistence to capitalist sectors, increasing output and allowing reinvestment which further raises productivity and employment in a self-sustaining cycle until labor pressures subside. Bank credit can also aid capital formation though inflation is self-correcting. Critics argue the model overlooks demand factors and difficulties transitioning large agricultural populations.
Nature and scope of economic.pdf
This document discusses the nature and scope of economics. It examines different definitions of economics proposed by classical, neoclassical, and contemporary economists. The classical view defined economics as the science of wealth production. Neoclassical economists saw it as the study of material welfare. Robbins defined it as the science of scarcity and choice. Samuelson's definition emphasized economic growth. Economics is both an art and a science. It involves both positive analysis of what is and normative judgments of what ought to be. Basic economic concepts like scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost are also reviewed. The central economic problems that all societies face are determining what to produce, how to produce it, and for whom to produce it.

Economics for business
Economics helps understand business aspects like production and distribution. It analyzes how societies use limited resources to produce goods. Early definitions focused on wealth but later definitions emphasized welfare and scarcity. Economics is both a science and an art that studies human behavior related to unlimited wants and means. It is divided into consumption, production, exchange, and distribution. It is related to other social sciences like politics, sociology, history, ethics, psychology and jurisprudence.
Micro Economics Note for Economics Faculty.pdf
This document provides definitions of economics from several economists throughout history and discusses their key aspects and criticisms. It begins by summarizing Adam Smith's definition of economics as the study of wealth generation and prosperity of a nation. It then discusses Alfred Marshall's definition focusing on material well-being and welfare. Next, it outlines Lionel Robbins' definition emphasizing choice-making due to scarce resources and unlimited wants. Finally, it summarizes Paul Samuelson's definition incorporating dynamic growth and development over time to meet increasing human wants. The document analyzes the salient features, criticisms, and debates around whether economics is a positive science, normative science, or both.
History and Few Basics of Micro Economics
The document provides definitions and concepts related to consumer behavior theory, including:
1) Utility refers to the satisfaction attained from consuming goods and services, though it is difficult to measure. Total utility is the satisfaction from consuming multiple units, and marginal utility is the satisfaction from each additional unit.
2) The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the marginal utility decreases with increasing consumption as each additional unit provides less satisfaction.
3) Indifference curves represent combinations of goods that provide equal satisfaction to the consumer. They are convex to the origin due to diminishing marginal rates of substitution.
Business economics
This document discusses various definitions of economics that have been proposed over time. It begins by classifying definitions into four categories: wealth, welfare, scarcity, and growth-oriented. It then examines definitions provided by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Alfred Marshall, and Lionel Robbins. Robbins defined economics as the science of scarce means and alternative uses. The document critiques Robbins' definition and proposes alternatives, concluding with Paul Samuelson's 1948 definition which views economics as the study of how society chooses to employ scarce resources over time to produce goods for consumption now and in the future.
Scope of Economics
Economics is derived from Greek words meaning "to manage the household." It is the science that studies how humans manage their limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Economics has been defined in various ways, such as the science of wealth, material welfare, and scarcity. It examines how people earn a living and how economic resources are allocated among competing uses to maximize benefit. Economics uses scientific methods to study human economic behavior and choices made between alternative uses of limited resources.
Micro Economics chp 01
Microeconomics is the study of individual units like consumers, firms, and industries. It examines small parts of the economy like individual income, consumption, demand, and supply. Economics deals with scarcity - the gap between unlimited wants and limited resources to meet those wants. This scarcity forces economic agents like consumers and producers to make choices. The main economic problems facing any economy are what to produce, how to produce, for whom to produce, efficient use of resources, full employment, and economic growth.
Defination of economics
This document provides definitions of economics from various scholars. It discusses economics as the science of wealth according to Adam Smith, JB Say, and F.A. Walker. It also discusses definitions by Marshall who defined economics as the science of material welfare and the study of man. Robbins defined economics as the science studying human behavior with scarce means and alternative uses. Samuelson defined economics as the study of how people employ scarce resources to produce goods over time and distribute them.

It can be divided into microeconomics, which focuses on individual agents and markets, and macroeconomics, which looks at aggregates like total output and employment. Economics analyzes both material and non-material human welfare. While early definitions centered around wealth, modern definitions emphasize scarcity and choice between alternatives. Business economics applies microeconomic analysis to business decisions to help optimize objectives under constraints.
economics
The document provides an overview of microeconomics and macroeconomics. It discusses key definitions and concepts in economics, including definitions of economics proposed by Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, Lionel Robbins, and Paul Samuelson. It also summarizes the differences between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics examines individual markets, firms, and consumer behavior, while macroeconomics analyzes aggregate economic indicators such as national income and output, inflation, and unemployment.
Theories of economics
The document provides an introduction to the concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics. It defines microeconomics as the study of individual agents like households and firms and their decision making regarding allocation of scarce resources. Macroeconomics is defined as looking at the big picture of overall growth, employment, and choices made by large groups like countries. The document then gives examples of microeconomic concerns like production, prices, and markets versus macroeconomic concerns like income and employment at the national level.
Managerial economics
This document provides an overview of different definitions of economics over time:
1) Adam Smith defined economics as the study of wealth production and spending. However, critics argued wealth is not the ultimate end and economics should consider human welfare.
2) Alfred Marshall defined economics as studying ordinary human activities related to material well-being. But his definition was criticized for being too narrow and classifying activities.
3) Lionel Robbins provided the most widely accepted definition - economics is the science of scarcity and choice between unlimited wants and limited resources. His definition considers all human wants, is more scientific, and does not pass judgement on ends.
Basic economics Concept
This document provides an overview of basic economic concepts including:
1) Definitions of economics from Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, Lionel Robbins, and Paul Samuelson focusing on scarcity and choice.
2) The scope of economics including consumption, production, exchange, distribution, and public finance.
3) Whether economics is a science or art, concluding it is both as it seeks to establish relationships but also provide policy solutions.
4) The distinction between positive economics which describes economic systems and normative economics which makes value judgments.
Economics 1
Economics studies how humans make choices to use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. It examines how resources can be allocated to maximize consumer satisfaction, producer profits, and social welfare. Early economists like Adam Smith defined economics as the study of wealth, focusing on wealth creation. Later definitions emphasized material welfare and scarcity. Modern definitions are more comprehensive, examining growth, resource allocation over time, and distribution. All economies face the fundamental problems of what, how, and for whom to produce given scarce resources and unlimited wants.
introduction to economics
1. Economics originally focused on advising governments on revenue collection and spending. It later expanded to study trade, industry, and commerce after the Industrial Revolution. Adam Smith defined economics as the science of wealth.
2. Economics has developed through different concepts over time, including wealth, welfare, scarcity, and development. Initially it focused on wealth, but later shifted to human welfare and studying how people satisfy unlimited wants with scarce resources. Modern economics also examines development and increasing resources to satisfy more wants.
3. Economics is both a positive and normative science. As a positive science, it presents facts about economic conditions. As a normative science, it makes recommendations about economic policies and systems to improve welfare. Economic

Why we should learn about rmg sector?
The RMG (ready-made garments) industry has evolved significantly since the 18th century invention of the sewing machine. It now plays an important role in the global economy and development of many countries. The document discusses the history and growth of the RMG sector, providing examples of employment opportunities it creates around the world. It argues students should learn about RMG because it can open career paths beyond their initial expectations, such as fashion designer, merchandiser, quality controller, or lecturer. Precise consideration of options is encouraged over narrow assumptions about potential roles.
garments production system
This document discusses three garment production systems: the progressive bundle system (PBS), unit production system (UPS), and modular production system (MPS). PBS is the most traditional system, where bundles of garment parts move from operation to operation. UPS uses overhead carriers to move completed garment parts between stations. MPS organizes workers into teams responsible for entire garment assembly. Each system has advantages like quality control and flexibility, and disadvantages like costs or planning requirements. The document was authored by MD Siyam Hossain of Bangladesh Institute of Business & Technology to explain these three common apparel manufacturing approaches.
National Income Accounting
Output is split into components of aggregate demand.
Analysing domestically produced goods and services.
Micro and Macroeconomics
Microeconomics studies individual economic decision-making units and markets, while macroeconomics analyzes the economy as a whole in terms of aggregates like total output, employment and prices. Both have limitations and need to be integrated to fully understand how the economy functions. The major economic problems revolve around efficiently allocating scarce resources to maximize satisfaction and profits while ensuring full employment and economic growth.
Macroeconomic Models
This document discusses macroeconomic models, including long-run, medium-run, and short-run models. The long-run model focuses on economic growth and productivity determining output. The medium-run model shows how the economy transitions from short-run to long-run. The short-run model analyzes how output and unemployment fluctuate with demand. Macroeconomics analyzes economic growth, fluctuations, and the impact of policies on goods, labor, and asset markets at an aggregate level.
Growth And Growth Policy
Technology is a key determinant of growth.However, these countries need not effort to invent new technology.
Growth And Accumulation
1. The document discusses economic growth accounting and theories of economic growth.
2. Growth accounting explains that economic growth is due to increases in inputs like capital and labor as well as productivity increases from technological progress. The neoclassical growth model predicts economies will reach a steady state of constant per capita output and capital.
3. The document also examines factors that influence differences in economic growth rates between countries, such as capital accumulation, population growth, human capital development, and natural resources. It analyzes growth empirically and discusses implications of growth theory.
Gross domestic product
Gross Domestic Product is the market value of all final goods and services produced domestically in a country in a year
Aggregate supply and aggregate demand
This document discusses aggregate supply and demand models. It explains that aggregate supply curves represent the quantity of output firms are willing to supply at different price levels. Aggregate demand curves show the equilibrium of goods and money markets at different price levels and output. The intersection of the aggregate supply and demand curves determines equilibrium output and price. Fiscal and monetary policies can shift these curves, impacting output and inflation. Expansionary fiscal policy like tax cuts shifts aggregate demand right, increasing output in the short run but raising prices in the long run when supply is fixed.
Stagflation
The document discusses stagflation that occurred in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Stagflation is defined as high inflation combined with high unemployment and economic recession. It was caused by external shocks like increased oil prices which raised production costs. Central banks faced a policy dilemma of whether to prioritize fighting inflation or recession. The Bank of Canada chose to target inflation, gradually reducing money supply growth and accepting short-term higher unemployment. This slowed inflation over time, though it caused economic turmoil initially. The Bank of Canada now uses an inflation target of 2% to guide monetary policy decisions.
North american free trade agreement
This document discusses NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and its impacts. It was implemented in 1994 to gradually eliminate tariffs and trade barriers between the US, Canada, and Mexico. There was opposition from labor unions and farmers who were concerned about job losses. The impacts of NAFTA included increased trade volumes but also job losses as some industries moved production to Mexico. Mexico benefited from increased foreign investment and exports but also faced issues like rural poverty and migration to the US. The impacts on each country were mixed and some argue that NAFTA did not fulfill all of its original promises.
Global warming
Global warming and pollution are increasing issues around the world. Burning fossil fuels for energy is a major contributor to rising carbon emissions and climate change. As a result, sea levels are projected to rise half a meter by 2100, causing more floods and droughts. Over 10 million people also face health risks from air pollution in highly polluted cities. Addressing global warming and pollution is a challenge that requires action from governments, businesses, scientists, and individuals to develop solutions and cut emissions. The United States is currently the largest emitter of greenhouse gases but has rejected international agreements to reduce them due to concerns about economic impacts.
Canadian dollar combo (Exchange Rate)
This document discusses the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollars and its impact on productivity and the Canadian economy. It provides an overview of factors that influence productivity such as labor hours and relative productivity between Canada and the US. A declining Canadian dollar benefits Canada by increasing purchasing power while difficulties adjusting to a stronger dollar could spur efficiency gains. However, a stronger dollar also makes Canadian exports less competitive. The overall impact of exchange rate fluctuations is debated, as both benefits and disadvantages exist, but with preparation, a stronger Canadian dollar may not be entirely negative for Canada.
Joint Stock Company
Md Siyam Hossain from Jamuna Group gave a presentation on joint stock companies. He defined a joint stock company as a business organization that manages funds from many investors to earn profits shared by all. He then described some essential elements of companies, including that they are created by law, have perpetual succession, limited liability for shareholders, separation of ownership and management, and must register with the government. He provided examples of some key elements like a company being an artificial person and requiring a minimum number of shareholders.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.快速制作美国迈阿密大学牛津分校毕业证文凭证书英文原版一模一样

- 2. 2 1. Defining Economics Study in economics should begin with definition of economics Regarding definition following questions should be answered: What is Economics? What is the definition of economics? Regarding Definition view of the following authors should be discussed: Adam Smith (1776) Ricardo (1817) Robinson, Marshal and Lord J.M Keynes Some economists, however, have the view that: Question of definition of economy aside (Richard Jones and Comte) Defining economics is unnecessary and waste time (Pareto, Myrdal and Hutchin) Macfie said lack of distinct definition of economics could be harmful However, students of economics must have clear knowledge definitions of economics We must distinct idea what economics is, even it is difficult to define
- 3. 3 1.1 Early Definitions Adam Smith An Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of Wealth of Nations J.E. Cairns Economics deals with the phenomenon of wealth J.B Say Economics as a science that treats wealth 1.1.1 Critics of the early Definitions These definitions were harshly defied by religious leader and philanthropists Social reformers Carlyle and Ruskin called it “pig science” Even religiously liberal peoples saw this: They denoted this as “dismal science” (black science), this degraded human
- 4. 4 1.1.2 Background of the Critics During the time religious sentiment was dominant Natural science was under developed Natural calamity, epidemics and poverty dominated the society Wealth was mal-distributed Wealth was seen as a cause of poverty Concentrating wealth was termed as immoral and sinful
- 5. 5 2. Marshallian definition of Economics Marshal called economics as a study of wealth and man “Economics is the study of the general methods by which men co-operate to meet their material needs and welfare.” The aim of the political economy is to explain on which the material welfare of human being depends Marshal definition was termed as welfare definition of economics This definition emphasis on the following points: Wealth is source for human welfare But wealth is referred to second position Economics deal with general peoples Marshal definition consider human with love, and affection Motivation and desire to maximise profit is not given proper emphasis Economics, however, prerequisites of material welfare And encourages materialistic philosophy of life In practical world Economics ignores non-materialistic aspect of life Marshal regarded economics as science and imperfect art
- 6. 6 3. Robbins’ definition of economics Robbins tried to free the definition of economics from welfare philosophy He said, “Economics is a science which studied human behaviour as a relationship between wants and scarce means which have alternative uses” Robbins definition has following assumptions: Endless wants are the source of all economic activities If there is no want, economic activity is bound to cease Wants are unlimited but the means to satisfy wants is strictly limited Had the means of satisfaction unlimited, no economic problems have arisen
- 7. 7 Robbins definition has following superior considerations Consider all material and non-material wants Consider well being of the peoples Does not confine economics on wealth and related activities Robbins considers economics as science Limitations of Robbins definition Economics cannot deny its responsibility for human society Robbins definition does not include the theory of growth It does not explain the problem of unemployment
- 8. 8 3. Modern Definition Lord J.M Keynes Economics is study of the administration of scarce resources and of the determination of income and employment Benham Economics is “a study of the factors affecting the size, distribution and stability of a countries national income.” Significance of Modern Economics Compare to earlier definitions revolution has been made in economic thinking Growth has got central importance in the definition of the economics Stability in economic development
