In political history there was a revolution with the right of adult franchise being given to common people.
Rousseau and other philosophers were no doubt primarily responsible for this; but the traders and industrialists also had a great role in this. Factories were being set up; food grains production had shot up. The avenues of unlimited profiteers were opened for traders by selling their products in the neighboring countries. But entry in the other countries was banned for the traders. The soldiers of kings were guarding the boundaries of the countries. This vigil was an obstacle in the profiteer by traders. in such atmosphere, the book “social contract” came and it generated a new viewpoint; a new philosophy expounded “a King is born, but not necessarily in the home of a king”. This gave the dream to the courtiers that even their children could become kings. This also gave the dream to the traders that anyone ready to give them transit to other nations could also be appointed as a king. He can be voted victorious in the election and it can be propagated that the person victorious in the elections is the most popular one, a real spokesman of the people’s interests and he is a born king...
This strange mixture of revolution and conspiracy put an end to monarchy. Then mixing up of the traders of two countries became easier. And electoral democracy was in the air and firmly grounded on soil. And a way was carved out through which a son of soil could become sun of soil that is king of soil. Political power was now free from the curse of dynasty. Those people traders became free who could contest the elections themselves or alternatively could control the reins of power by sponsoring others to contest the election.
This happened in the second half of eighteen century. After two hundred years, almost similar thing happened once again. The so-called World Trade Organization is in fact a repeat of whatever had happened earlier. In this system not only the trader but the rich consumers were also in unison. This trade treaty not only demanded that there should be free flow of trade but also said that if a foreign company wants to sale its car in Rs. 4 lacks in India and Indian consumer is ready to buy that, then the govt. of India has no right to make the car still more costly and the govt. caved in before this (un) holy alliance of traders and consumers thus a large chunk of sovereignty of nation states was transferred to the world wide organizations like- WTO and others (IMF and World Bank etc.), World Trade Organization is a transnational body of traders before which the national governments are helpless. With this started a new process of world market, global economy, global consumption and global income. With this a new power packed group came called multinational companies, which have appropriated the custody of economic policies of country governments. But this sight of hand was duly taken care of. It was kept mind by rich people that there should be no misgivings among people about Governance. And they must feel that their elected representatives are governing them as earlier and they only are the lawmakers and policy makers and not the MNCs. This gave the MNCs and TNCs a great safety routes. When the credit for employment generation is the issue they can take all the credit, but when the issue is about consequent unemployment; they can easily shift the blame on the political leaders. People would keep fighting against their own leaders in the backdrop of economic crisis and will keep the political powers shifting among the parties as a way of ventilating their anger. And the real beneficiaries, the MNCs and TNCs along with the global trader and global consumer would be a distant and silent spectator.
While fully enjoying the poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, sickness and malnutrition of the majority of the people, these high and up people are fully careful that just as there is now a universal unity among the traders and consumers there should be no such parallel unity among the poor people of world cutting across the national boundaries, but if there be such a global party or union among the oppressed and downtrodden – it would become impossible for the leaders of these poor masses to dance to the tune of these global traders and consumer i.e., MNCs and TNCs. They are afraid that if before the world Trade Organization there be a party of the poor all over world, it would not be possible to turn the local leaders into puppets by virtue of money and the reckless profiteering would be impossible. The universal traders will have to compensate to the losses of the poor that so they will have to pay something like global tax. And most of all the global traders will also be under the rule of law. The equal distribution of currency created against mechanical labor The national companies are on the same turn of as the multinational companies, so it is now imperative for the national companies to maintain high quality and low cost of goods and services. This can be done only with the help of automation, maximum automation. May be the required machinery will have to be imported. As a result of automation and very large production made by machines, the total GDP has been rising but the currency notes being printed by the same mechanical labor and automation is being deposited in the banks instead of being distributed among the citizens. Now the bank under the pressure of this mounting piles of notes are lowering the interest rates, rather they have put it under free fall and they are regularly urging upon the people to take loans and set up industries, but the people are hesitant to do so as everything right from the needle to an airplane is being made by MNCs. Thus a man with small capital is always in the danger of going bankrupt. They feel that their factory may or may not sell but they are sure to sink in the loans. As the result since there are no seekers for loans, the interest rates are crashing down. In the light of above analysis, it is clear that mankind has reached in an age where 80% of GDP comes from machines and manual share in GDP has came down to 20%. It means that even if most of the people are rendered unemployed or do not prefer to work; the current level of production can be maintained. Since most of the GDP is linked to mechanical production the nations are getting richer and richer but the national citizenry is getting poorer; and poorer. On one hand, the go owns are bursting with food grains; on the other hand, many people are committing suicides due to poverty and hunger.
