Directions (1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
According to some economists swadeshi does not mean insulating India's economy from the world economy. The basic idea of swadesi is to have a calibrated process of opening of the economy so that all segments are enabled to compete with the best in the world after going through intense internal competition leading to mergers, acquisitions and eliminations. This is how Japan had developed its industry and the entire economy.
However, under the present world situation and the dire necessity of mitigating conditions of poverty in the country, the Government has to decide as to how much of free trade is to be allowed in the different segments of economy in order to achieve the rate of growth planned for the economy during the period of Ninth Plan.
All over the world people have been found to be divided on the crucial question of protection and free trade. A recent study has found that the protectionists in the world outnumber free traders and are showing further increase in their number.
The study has been made for The Economist by the Augus-Reid Group, a Canadian pollster. It is based upon an opinion poll carried out among 12741 adults spread over 22 important countries of the world. The leading question asked in the poll was as to which of the following two approaches do you think would be the best way to improve the economic and employment situation in this country :
(i) Protecting our local industries by restricting imports, or (ii) Removing import restrictions to increase our international trade?
Replies received to this question showed that - (a) Protectionists world-wide outnumber free traders 47% to 42% (b) Proportion of people supporting free trade had declined from 43% in 1997 to 42% in 1998.
The trend for a fall in the number of free traders and a rise in the number of protectionists has been called as 'amazing' in the study because it has shown a negative result for the stupendous global efforts of the WTO, the World Bank the IMF and the most powerful G - 7 countries for the propagation and promotion of free trade and globalisation in the world.
It is interesting to note that America, Australia, UK, Canada and Italy, who are strong champions of free trade in the world have large majority of their own people still supporting protection! The study says : "A clear majority of Americans (56% to 37%) are protectionists even today". And over the past one year, the number of free traders in America had declined by 4%. Such decline was much higher in Italy (21%), Canada (13%) and UK (12%).
