Law Of System Complexity
LAW OF SYSTEM COMPLEXITY
A system must have a certain minimum level of complexity to perform its function. Above that level, its efficiency will be inversely proportional to its complexity.

'Major Economy': Definition?
Media keeps saying India is the fastest growing 'major' economy. So which are really the fastest growing economies (regardless of 'major' or 'minor')?
1. Libya - 55% (GDP: $30 billion, #95)
2. Ethiopia - 8.5% (GDP: $70 billion, #65)
3. Vietnam - 7.7% (GDP: $200 billion, #50)
4. Ivory Coast - 7.6% (GDP: $35 billion, #90)
5. India - 7.5% (GDP: $2.5 trillion, #6)
The top 4 are all small countries. So it is easy to say "India is the fastest growing major economy". But is there any precise definition of 'major economy'? Where do you draw the line between 'major' economies and the rest? Do you take the top X economies as 'major'? In that case, what is X? 10? 15? 20? How much? Or do you take a GDP value as a cutoff for 'major' economies? And in that case, what is the cutoff? $ 1 trillion? That will translate to X = 15. Or is it some other value? Or should we take some other parameter?

Hatred Of Hinduism (HoH)
When the British conquered India, they were intelligent enough to figure out a few things:
1. India is the world's oldest and greatest civilisation.
2. It has a way of life called Hinduism - which is its foundation.
3. The only way for them to rule India was to weaken it first.
4. And the best way to weaken India is to attack its foundation - ie, Hinduism.
So the British created a virus called hatred of Hinduism (HoH) and injected it into Indian society. They did this mainly through their education system. And they did it mainly to the Indian upper class.
The British drilled the following program into the brains of upper-class Indians (through their education system) for 200 years:
1a. Western civilisation is the richest and most powerful civilisation in the world.
1b. The foundation of Western civilisation is Christianity.
1c. So the root cause of the West's wealth and power is Christianity.
1d. So Christianity is progressive, enlightened and forward-looking.
2a. India has been a slave nation for 1000 years.
2b. The foundation of Indian civilisation is Hinduism.
2c. So the root cause of India's poverty and weakness is Hinduism.
2d. So Hinduism is backward, primitive and regressive.
3. Thus there is only one hope for India: to erase Hinduism and become a duplicate of the West.
And upper-class Indians absorbed this program completely . . .
The British left in 1947. But the virus they created continued to thrive - under the names of 'liberalism' and 'secularism' . . .
* * *
Four types of people hate Hinduism:
1. Liberals/secularists
2. Communists
3. Islamic fundamentalists
4. Christian fundamentalists
But there is one small distinction among them. #2, #3 and #4 each have their ideology - and hatred of Hinduism is a part of that ideology. But for #1, hatred of Hinduism is itself their ideology.
PS: Was the British propaganda against Hinduism correct? Yes, it is true that India was a slave nation for 1000 years. But India is a 5000-year-old civilisation - and for the first 4000 years of her history, she was the richest and most powerful civilisation in the world. India's empires (Maurya, Gupta, Chalukya, Rashtrakuta, Chola, Vijayanagara) were the richest and most powerful empires in the world. And the root cause of this wealth and power was Hinduism. But nothing lasts forever. So after 4000 years of wealth and power, Hinduism developed some weaknesses. As a result, India was conquered by foreign invaders and became a slave nation.

Law & Order Vs Subsidies
How do we achieve a state of zero rapes? Keeping people safe is the job of the law & order system. And what is the state of our law & order system? Forget high-level things like technology; the most basic thing is manpower. India's police force has only 130 cops per lakh people. The international standard is 200 cops per lakh people. This means our police force is under-manned by 35% - around 10 lakh cops. How can such a weak system do anything at all? The obvious solution is to recruit these 10 lakh cops. But we don't have any money to pay their salaries. Why? Because we are spending 1.5% of our GDP (₹ 2.5 lakh crores) on wasteful subsidies.
We are happily spending lakhs of crores on wasteful subsidies. So obviously we don't have any money for basics like law & order. Want zero rapes? Begin with zero subsidies. Because the path to zero rapes begins with zero subsidies.

Legislature, Executive, Judiciary
The universe has 3 phases: beginning, existence and end. Accordingly, the Supreme Being has 3 functions: creation, preservation and destruction. In Hinduism, these 3 functions are assigned to the 3 Gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
A society needs rules to run properly. And rules also have 3 phases/functions: making them, enforcing them and interpreting them. So society created a system called 'government' to make, enforce and interpret rules. But if all these 3 powers are with one body, it will lead to concentration of power. And concentration of power leads to corruption. Because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
So the government is divided into 3 bodies - with each body doing one of the 3 functions. Legislature makes the rules, executive enforces the rules and judiciary interprets the rules. This is called separation of powers. It is a fundamental feature of a democracy. So a healthy democracy requires:
1. The 3 bodies must be independent.
2. The 3 bodies must respect one another.
This is the Dharma of democracy. It enables a democracy to give freedom, equality and justice to its people. Without it, a democracy cannot even exist - let alone function properly.
By trying to impeach the Chief Justice of India on completely baseless legal grounds and for purely partisan political reasons, the Congress Party has declared war on the judiciary - one of the 3 pillars of our democracy. And in doing so, it has directly violated the sacred Dharma of our democracy. Dharmo rakshati rakshitah, Dharmo vinaashati vinaashitah.

Ambedkar, Hinduism, Buddhism
Liberals have falsely projected Ambedkar as anti-Hindu. The truth is he was a staunch nationalist.
Myth #1: Ambedkar converted from Hinduism to Buddhism.
Truth: Hinduism is not a religion - it is a way of life. So the question of converting out of Hinduism does not arise. Ambedkar rejected the orthodox Hindu/Indian religions (Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism) and embraced a heterodox Hindu/Indian religion (Buddhism).
Myth #2: Ambedkar hated Hinduism.
Truth: Ambedkar did not hate Hinduism. He only hated casteism and untouchability. And these were corruptions which had crept into Hinduism under Turkish/Mughal/British rule. If Ambedkar hated Hinduism, he would have converted to a non-Hindu/Indian religion (Christianity).

Hindu capitalism:
• Free-market capitalism is the most efficient economic system.

• So each civilisation must build a capitalist system based on its culture.

'Star Wars: Last Jedi' - Review
Review (contains a spoiler):
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there was a brilliant Jedi Knight called Anakin Skywalker. But his desire for power made him succumb to the Dark Side of the Force - and he became a Sith Lord: Darth Vader. He became the evil Emperor Palpatine's trusted right-hand man. He kills the Emperor only in the end - to save his son Luke Skywalker. This was the story that the first six Star Wars movies told us. But here's a question: if Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader was truly ambitious, then why stop at being the #2 guy? Why not become the #1 guy?
Force Awakens (Episode 7, 2015) was nothing but a remake of A New Hope (Episode 4, 1977). That is, it was nothing but a repeat of the original story - with just the characters recycled: 'Kylo Ren' instead of Darth Vader, 'Supreme Leader Snoke' instead of Emperor Palpatine, 'Rey' instead of Luke Skywalker, 'Finn' and 'Poe Dameron' as Rey's companions (filling in for Princess Leia and Han Solo) - and Luke Skywalker himself taking the place of Master Yoda. Rian Johnson's Last Jedi (Episode 8) also repeats the original story - but with one important change: the above-mentioned twist.
The first half is just a mountain of new characters, new plotlines, light-sabre duels and space-ship battles. The recipe looks something like "1 kg potatoes + 1 kg onions + 1 kg carrots + 1 kg beans + 1 kg peas + 1 kg garlic + 1 kg chillies + 1 kg tamarind + 1 kg salt + 1 kg pepper" - ie, over-stuffed. It is only in the second half, when the above-mentioned twist kicks in, that the movie finds its logic and direction. A leaner and meaner Last Jedi would have been much better. But that is too much to expect - considering the money Disney has at stake.
There isn't much of acting here. Adam Driver's Kylo Ren is - with his conflicts and torments - potentially the meatiest character (like Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker was in the original story). But the script simply doesn't give the character the time and scenes needed to do justice to it. Mark Hamill with his grey hair and beard looks venerable enough as the elderly Jedi Knight. But the performance that stays with you is Carrie Fisher's. She exudes grace and dignity in her final innings as Princess Leia. Last Jedi will be Star Wars fans' fond farewell to her. Goodbye, dear princess. You will always be in our hearts - and the Force will always be with you . . .
PS: The good news is Rian Johnson has rescued this trilogy after its disastrous start by J J Abrams. The bad news is Abrams will be back to direct Episode 9.

ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಅರ್ಥಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ
ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಅರ್ಥಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ:
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಬಳಿ ಸ್ವಂತ ಹಣ ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಹಣ ಎಂದರೆ ಜನರ (ತೆರಿಗೆದಾರರ) ಹಣ. ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಹಣ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ, ಆ ಹಣ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ನಾಯಕರಿಂದ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ - ಅದು ಜನರಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ.
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ/ಜನರ ಹಣ ಸೀಮಿತ, ಅಸೀಮಿತವಲ್ಲ. ಅದನ್ನು ಯಾವುದಕ್ಕಾದರೂ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಆಗ ಬೇರೆಯದಕ್ಕೆ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಲು ಹಣ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.
• ವಾಮವಾದಿಗಳು ದಕ್ಷತೆಯು 'ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ-ಪರ' ಮತ್ತು 'ಬಡವರ-ವಿರೋಧಿ' ಎಂದು ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳಿ ಅಪಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಸತ್ಯ ಎಂದರೆ: ದಕ್ಷತೆಯೇ ಪರಮ ಬಡವರ-ಪರ ಗುಣ ಮತ್ತು ಅದಕ್ಷತೆಯೇ ಪರಮ ಬಡವರ-ವಿರೋಧಿ ಗುಣ. ಯಾಕೆ? ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ ಬಡವರೇ ಸರ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅವಲಂಬಿಸುವರು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅದಕ್ಷವಾದಾಗ, ಅದರಿಂದ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ನಷ್ಟವಾಗುವುದು ಬಡವರಿಗೇ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ ನಾವು ದಕ್ಷತೆಯ ಮಹತ್ವ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
• "ಬಡವನಿಗೆ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ, ಅವನ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಒಂದು ದಿನ ತುಂಬುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಬತ್ತ ಬೆಳೆಯುವುದು ಕಲಿಸಿದರೆ, ಅವನ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಇಡೀ ಜೀವನ ತುಂಬುತ್ತದೆ" ಎಂದು ಆಫ್ರಿಕಾದ ಗಾದೆ ಇದೆ. ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಬಡವರಿಗೆ ಹಣ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ, ಅವರ ಬಡತನ ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಡತನದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಇಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಡತನದಿಂದ ಆಚೆ ತರಬೇಕೆಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ ಮತ್ತು ದುಡಿಯುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಕೊಡಬೇಕು. ಅಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ, ಆರೋಗ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮೂಲವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ (ರಸ್ತೆ, ನೀರು, ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ತು) ಕೊಡಬೇಕು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಹಣ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಬೇಕು - ಖರ್ಚಿಗಲ್ಲ.
• ಸಾಲ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಸಾಲ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಆ ಸಾಲದ ಮೊತ್ತವನ್ನು ತೀರಿಸುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ - ಅದರ ಮೇಲಿನ ಬಡ್ಡಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕೂಡ ಕಟ್ಟಬೇಕು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾವು ಸಾಲ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು. ಅಂದರೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಖರ್ಚು ನಮ್ಮ ಆದಾಯಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಇರಬೇಕು. ಇದು ಅರ್ಥನಿರ್ವಹಣೆಯ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ನಿಯಮ. ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೂ ಇದು ಗೊತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ವಿಚಿತ್ರ ಎಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಈ ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
• ಒಂದು ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಸರಳವೋ, ಅದು ಅಷ್ಟೇ ದಕ್ಷವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ನಿಯಮ ತೆರಿಗೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ. ತೆರಿಗೆ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿಗಳು ತೆರಿಗೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ಬಹಳ ಸಂಕೀರ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಅದಕ್ಷ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲ ತೆರಿಗೆ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕು. ಬೇಕಾದರೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ದರಗಳನ್ನು ಇಳಿಸಬಹುದು.
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ನಿಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತರುವುದು. ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ವಸ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ಉತ್ಪಾದಿಸುವುದು ಅಲ್ಲ. ಖಾಸಗಿ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಈ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ದಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.
• ಮುಕ್ತ-ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆ ಅರ್ಥವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ವಸ್ತು ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ಅದರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಪೂರೈಕೆ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಪ್ರತಿ ವಸ್ತು ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆ ಈ ರೀತಿ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವಾದರೆ, ಸಮಾಜದ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ದಕ್ಷವಾದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯೋಜನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘಿಸಿದರೆ, ಅದರಿಂದ ಅದಕ್ಷತೆ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘನೆಗಳೆಂದರೆ:
1) ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಸ್ತು ಅಥವಾ ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವುದು
2) ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಸ್ತು ಅಥವಾ ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವುದು (ಇದಕ್ಕೆ 'ಸಬ್ಸಿಡಿ' ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ)
ಸಬ್ಸಿಡಿಗಳು ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಗಳ ಬೆಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಇದರಿಂದ ಸಮಾಜದ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳು ಅದಕ್ಷವಾದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯೋಜನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸಬ್ಸಿಡಿಗಳು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಲ್ಲ.
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಬಳಿ ಸ್ವಂತ ಹಣ ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಹಣ ಎಂದರೆ ಜನರ (ತೆರಿಗೆದಾರರ) ಹಣ. ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಹಣ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ, ಆ ಹಣ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ನಾಯಕರಿಂದ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ - ಅದು ಜನರಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ.
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ/ಜನರ ಹಣ ಸೀಮಿತ, ಅಸೀಮಿತವಲ್ಲ. ಅದನ್ನು ಯಾವುದಕ್ಕಾದರೂ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಆಗ ಬೇರೆಯದಕ್ಕೆ ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಲು ಹಣ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.
• ವಾಮವಾದಿಗಳು ದಕ್ಷತೆಯು 'ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ-ಪರ' ಮತ್ತು 'ಬಡವರ-ವಿರೋಧಿ' ಎಂದು ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳಿ ಅಪಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಸತ್ಯ ಎಂದರೆ: ದಕ್ಷತೆಯೇ ಪರಮ ಬಡವರ-ಪರ ಗುಣ ಮತ್ತು ಅದಕ್ಷತೆಯೇ ಪರಮ ಬಡವರ-ವಿರೋಧಿ ಗುಣ. ಯಾಕೆ? ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ ಬಡವರೇ ಸರ್ಕಾರವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅವಲಂಬಿಸುವರು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅದಕ್ಷವಾದಾಗ, ಅದರಿಂದ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ನಷ್ಟವಾಗುವುದು ಬಡವರಿಗೇ. ಆದುದರಿಂದ ನಾವು ದಕ್ಷತೆಯ ಮಹತ್ವ ಅರ್ಥ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು.
• "ಬಡವನಿಗೆ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ, ಅವನ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಒಂದು ದಿನ ತುಂಬುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಬತ್ತ ಬೆಳೆಯುವುದು ಕಲಿಸಿದರೆ, ಅವನ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಇಡೀ ಜೀವನ ತುಂಬುತ್ತದೆ" ಎಂದು ಆಫ್ರಿಕಾದ ಗಾದೆ ಇದೆ. ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಬಡವರಿಗೆ ಹಣ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ, ಅವರ ಬಡತನ ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಡತನದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಇಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅವರನ್ನು ಬಡತನದಿಂದ ಆಚೆ ತರಬೇಕೆಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ ಮತ್ತು ದುಡಿಯುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಕೊಡಬೇಕು. ಅಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ, ಆರೋಗ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಮೂಲವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ (ರಸ್ತೆ, ನೀರು, ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ತು) ಕೊಡಬೇಕು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ, ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಹಣ ಹೂಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಬೇಕು - ಖರ್ಚಿಗಲ್ಲ.
• ಸಾಲ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಲ್ಲ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಸಾಲ ಮಾಡಿದಾಗ ಆ ಸಾಲದ ಮೊತ್ತವನ್ನು ತೀರಿಸುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ - ಅದರ ಮೇಲಿನ ಬಡ್ಡಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕೂಡ ಕಟ್ಟಬೇಕು. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾವು ಸಾಲ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು. ಅಂದರೆ, ನಮ್ಮ ಖರ್ಚು ನಮ್ಮ ಆದಾಯಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಕಡಿಮೆ ಇರಬೇಕು. ಇದು ಅರ್ಥನಿರ್ವಹಣೆಯ ಮೂಲಭೂತ ನಿಯಮ. ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಕುಟುಂಬಕ್ಕೂ ಇದು ಗೊತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ವಿಚಿತ್ರ ಎಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಈ ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ಯಾವತ್ತೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
• ಒಂದು ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಸರಳವೋ, ಅದು ಅಷ್ಟೇ ದಕ್ಷವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ನಿಯಮ ತೆರಿಗೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಗೆ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ. ತೆರಿಗೆ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿಗಳು ತೆರಿಗೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ಬಹಳ ಸಂಕೀರ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಅದಕ್ಷ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲ ತೆರಿಗೆ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕು. ಬೇಕಾದರೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ದರಗಳನ್ನು ಇಳಿಸಬಹುದು.
• ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ನಿಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ರಚಿಸುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತರುವುದು. ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ವಸ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ಉತ್ಪಾದಿಸುವುದು ಅಲ್ಲ. ಖಾಸಗಿ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಈ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ದಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.
• ಮುಕ್ತ-ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆ ಅರ್ಥವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ವಸ್ತು ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ಅದರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಪೂರೈಕೆ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ. ಪ್ರತಿ ವಸ್ತು ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆ ಈ ರೀತಿ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವಾದರೆ, ಸಮಾಜದ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ದಕ್ಷವಾದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯೋಜನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘಿಸಿದರೆ, ಅದರಿಂದ ಅದಕ್ಷತೆ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಎರಡು ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘನೆಗಳೆಂದರೆ:
1) ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಯಾವುದೇ ವಸ್ತು ಅಥವಾ ಸೇವೆಯ ಬೆಲೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವುದು

ಸಬ್ಸಿಡಿಗಳು ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಸೇವೆಗಳ ಬೆಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಇದರಿಂದ ಸಮಾಜದ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳು ಅದಕ್ಷವಾದ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯೋಜನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಸಬ್ಸಿಡಿಗಳು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಲ್ಲ.
