1. Capitalism 
• Just remember three principles of capitalism: 
?Private Property 
?Competitive Markets 
?Pro?ts 
• If there is no Private property then we start moving towards Socialism. 
• Private property can be imagined in a lot of ways. 
•
For example, your mobile is YOUR mobile. You don’t share it with the entire country. 
• But if you had to share your mobile with all, it would have been a socialist or communist system. 
•
It does not mean that socialist or communist systems are bad or evil. 
• These systems attempt to create equal societies, as not all are born with money. 
• And in present world, if we don’t have enough money to get good education or good health then we 
might not be able to compete with the rest who are born in families with adequate resources and 
money to take care of all the educational or health needs. 
2. Socialism 
•
A political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, 
distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. 
Important T erms to remember  
• Laissez Faire 
•
Command Economy 
• Keynes & Lange 
3. About India 
•
We are not following any of the ideologies strictly 
• Every country has different situations and they have adapted the systems according to their needs 
• India follows a lot of Socialistic ideas along with increasingly more Capitalism 
•
A lot of western countries follow Capitalistic ideas along with increasingly more Socialism 
4. India’s Transition 
• In 1991 India decided to Open-Up in 1990s following Washington Consensus 
?A set of 11 economic policy prescriptions considered to constitute the "standard" reform package 
promoted for crisis-wracked developing countries  
• By Washington, D.C.–based institutions such as IMF,  World Bank, and the US Treasury Department
