The best comment in this thread. This deserves positive ratings IMHO.The state of the economy at the most simplistic and granular level is a representation of cultural and behavioural ethos of a country.
There are upswings and downturns, but in the fullness of time, the policy makers seem to be from within the normal curve that is representative of the population. Hence minor blips in decision making aside, the historical average of the economy on a long timeline is basically a sum total of all the decisions a population has made, in terms of production, consumption, exports, imports, etc.
It's a mirror for us to get a reality check of who we truly are, in terms of our value systems, discipline and other attitudinal parameters. It is an oversimplified average representation of how an Indian or a Pakistani gets up in the morning and attempts at accomplishing a task.
We suck in our attitudes. period. We will find it difficult to ever be able to challenge the true 'masters' of this world.

In our case unfortunately, we are still after personalities and not after policies. The debate on economic policies in assembly is a rare sight, opposition mostly crying foul at every policy without presenting a true or alternate solution.
