Economics

How the world's economies have become connected, the role of multinational companies, and the effects of globalisation on India.

The decades of economic planning after independence, when India built industry and self-reliance through Five-Year Plans.

Why prices rise over time, what causes inflation, who it hurts and helps, and how it is controlled.

What money is and why we use it, how banks create credit, and how the central bank controls the nation's money.

How a country measures the total value of all it produces — GDP and related ideas — and what these numbers do and don't tell us.

What poverty means, how it is measured by the poverty line, who the poor are, and how India is trying to remove it.

How economic activity is divided into primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, and into organised and unorganised, public and private.
