Our esteemed Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, has precisely the right solution. High salaries to employees of Multinational Corporations is the cause of inflation. Giving salaries to too many people causes them to chase goods pushing up their prices. Instead, salaries at the low levels should be cut and it should be increased at the highest levels. That will reduce inflation in two ways. First, the consumption basket of the rich is different. The likes of Anil and Mukesh Ambani do not compete with the poor people as much as people like me do for their consumption basket. Second, super-rich people save more than merely rich people, putting downward pressure on prices.
Increasing income disparity is just the right approach to controlling inflation.
you said, “Increasing income disparity is just the right approach to controlling inflation.”
I don’t understand, controlling inflation at the cost of equality? all govts fight for the equality. encouraging income disparity just for the sake of curbing inflation is definitely not healthy in the long term. Is my understanding clear?
What kind of modest proposal is this which doesn’t even involve killing and consuming babies.
Dear Manjunath (first comment)
How dare you argue with the wisdom of our Prime Minister?
I got your point Ravi 🙂
