Revive "Animal Spirit" to Rev Up the Country's Economy!

 

 

 Dr.Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, immediately after taking charge of Finance portfolio from Mr.Pranab Mukherjee, is reported to have told Finance Ministry Officials after reviewing the state of the economy, , "Reverse the climate of pessimism – Revive the Animal Spirit in the country's economy—Millions of our countrymen look up to the government to throw open channels for their progress, prosperity and welfare."  

Animal & Human Behaviours  

Any impulse arising in an animal throws its mind into a convulsion. Then it must find an immediate expression in an action. Then, that impulse dies away. That is the nature of animal behavior.

But, in the case of a human being, when he or she has not started training the mind, very often this is the behaviour; when we were primitive, we were doing like this.   Even then, certain calmness had come to the human system, because nature had provided for it. Every sensory input will be observed, giving a little gap between input and output, so as to be guided by reason and love for truth.

The human culture is the product of judicious discipline of the impulses and animals have no culture. So long as one is tied up at the sensory level, one is still at the animal level only; to all purposes a human being, but actually an animal.  

Revival of Animal Spirit in Country's Economy?

The revival of "Animal Spirit in India's Economy" amounts to acting on impulses of economists and corporate bodies, mainly for achieving higher GDP Growth Rates, ignoring the ground realities of unsustainable consumption levels, mounting inflation rates, depletion of natural resources, increasing environmental pollution, increasing gap between 'Haves' and 'Have Nots' etc., with which the developed countries are reported to have been charged by the Prime Minister at Rio+20 Summit

 How does the Animal Spirit in India's Economy, help millions of our countrymen, who are deprived of the basic essentials of life -food, clothing and shelter?
