To put it differently, in a manner that conveys the political economy of this stunning statistic, 90% of India owns less than a quarter of the country’s wealth.

8. Economy is Trapped in the Vicious Circle of Poverty: Prof. Ragner Nurkes says that ‘a country is poor because it is poor’. It means poor countries are trapped in the vicious circle of poverty.
9. Use of Outdated Technology: It is very clear that Indian production technique is more labour oriented in nature. So it increases the cost of production of the products made in these countries.
