Development of rural economy to change the country

Historians often argue that no dynasty can endure for more than a century with supreme majesty. The dynasty must face challenges within this time. This belief applies not only to the ruling families but also to individuals and normal households. The trajectory of wealth and influence follows a similar pattern, where what is prestigious today may falter tomorrow. This principle is evident in rural economies and family dynamics, where inheritance is seldom equal, and prosperity can swiftly shift. Once affluent families may find themselves impoverished over time, reflecting the ongoing flux characteristic of rural life.

In the same way that one cannot win a footrace with a rope tethered to their feet, a free market economy cannot thrive under restrictive conditions. A free market economy isn't synonymous with a laissez-faire approach; rather, it requires certain conditions to function optimally.

When the individual seeks a shadow of development

We are constantly reminded to pay VAT and taxes to further the government’s development initiatives. All fine and good! The massive development projects sprouting up have, so we’re told are mostly being built with our money, meaning taxpayer contribution. Nothing could be better than depending on fewer, expensive loans. That the exhortations aren’t enough there’s a marvellous system of tax on tax ranging from Advance Income Tax to cool deductions from bank accounts of tax and Excise duties and almost 25% added to bills when eating out. And one can barely top-up cell phone bills before the scythe of tax is applied.
