Answer 1

An economy (from Greek οίκος – "household" and νέμoμαι – "manage") is an area of the production, distribution, or trade[1], and consumption of goods and services by different agents. Understood in its broadest sense, 'The economy is defined as a social domain that emphasises the practices, discourses, and material expressions associated with the production, use, and management of resources'.[2] Economic agents can be individuals, businesses, organizations, or governments. Economic transactions occur when two parties agree to the value or price of the transacted good or service, commonly expressed in a certain currency. However, monetary transactions only account for a small part of the economic domain.

Economic activity is spurred by production which uses natural resources, labor, and capital. It has changed over time due to technology (automation, accelerator of process, reduction of cost functions), innovation (new products, services, processes, expanding markets, diversification of markets, niche markets, increases revenue functions) such as, that which produces intellectual property and changes in industrial relations (for example, child labor being replaced in some parts of the world with universal access to education).

A given economy is the result of a set of processes that involves its culture, values, education, technological evolution, history, social organization, political structure and legal systems, as well as its geography, natural resource endowment, and ecology, as main factors. These factors give context, content, and set the conditions and parameters in which an economy functions. In other words, the economic domain is a social domain of human practices and transactions. It does not stand alone.

A market-based economy is one where goodsand services are produced and exchanged according to demand and supply between participants (economic agents) by barter or a medium of exchange with a credit or debitvalue accepted within the network, such as a unit of currency.

A command-based economy is one where political agents directly control what is produced and how it is sold and distributed.

A green economy is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment are driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.[

Answer 2

The significant problems faced by India post independence followed by the poor economic growth conditions, created a phase for the government to follow the LPG Model.

LPG stands for Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization. The terms are explained in details as follows:

1.Liberalization:

Liberalization can be defined as the process of providing economics the freedom to enter the market and establish their foothold in the country.

The post independence period was called License Raj. The performance of India in the market all over the world was poor(about 0.53% upto 1992) due to several restrictions.

However, India became second in the world of development and also the seventh largest economy post liberalization. India's contribution stood at 1.3 trillion in the world’s GDP estimate.

2. Privatization:

Privatization can be defined as the situation in which the control of the economy gets shifted from the government to a private entity.India has been heading towards privatization and this led to India being one of the fastest developing economies of the world.

3. Globalization:

Globalization can be defined as the process by which various regional economies and sociocultural sectors get integrated via a global network of communication, transportation, and trade.

This term is often specifically used to denote economic globalization.Usually globalization is seen to be driven by combining economic, technological, social, cultural, and other important factors.
