Duplicate world and
duplicate economy
Now days our world is passing
through a big economic crisis. Some countries were completely destroyed their
economy (Greece is a simple example). Several countries are still fighting for
maintain their economy. I am writing this blog because the country which I am
resident presently is also struggling to maintain their economy. I am a
resident in Italy presently, so this blog belongs to Italian government.
Government have to take action to control the economic crisis. If a government
decide to improve their economy, in this particular situation it have to be
ready to change some particular rules on their economy. This is what we need in
our present economic conditions.
Globalization has changed the
world’s economy very far. It makes the whole world as an open market. So
anything from anywhere can enter in this open market. But this market doesn’t
care about the quality of the product. The availability of products with
different names and different quality is the specialty of the global market.
I am writing this blog because I feel
that the global marketing system is cheating the common man. A few days back I was
working with my friend in a farm. He has bought a new blade to cut the herbs
and it cost 5 Euros. But when he finishes his work on the same day, the blade
was broken and bended itself. This incident makes me thinking about the global
market.
An ordinary man (majority of the
peoples) will not think about the quality of the product, they may be impressed
with the price tag. A quality product may cost 3 or 4 Euros or even 10 Euros
than the others. It will make think the common man to buy that product and
naturally he will buy the product which costs less. But he is unable to recognize
that, it will lead him to a duplicate life. When he buys the product with low
coast, he already knows that, this product will not last like the quality
product. But the price tag is attracting him to buy the product. If he buys a
quality product, he can use it many more times that the cheap quality. Once he buys
a chap quality product, after a few times of use, he must be throw it away. Then
he is intended to buy a new one, the same thing will happen after a few days
and it will continue. It will coast him more money than the quality product. So
here we can see that he is spending more money and leading a duplicate life.
Nobody is here to change this
system. No any governments are trying to ensure their citizens life quality. Governments
can control this global marketing system. I am also agreeing that the globe
must be open for everybody. But somebody is utilizing the ordinary people’s
needs, only for t heir sake. It must have to control, and this is the only
reason to the economic crisis in the world. Global marketing system allows the
cheap products in the markets and many of the quality products vanishes from
the market. It will cause the quality local products to vanish from the market
and many of the people to unoccupied. Gradually the total economy of the nation
crashed and destroyed. This system made some people rich and the others to very
poor. Some economy to grown up and others to crash down. If the situations are
going like this way, the world will be a ground of poor’s. economically rich countries
may be a few. We must have to stop this.
Governments must have to control the
market and its products very carefully. It must ensure the quality of the
products. If they are importing a product from a foreign country, the producers
must have to clarify the quality of the product. If they are not ensuring any
quality to their product, don’t allow them to enter the market. The second
think is the price. The price of the product must be equal or competitive to
the local products. Never allow a product to sell very much lower than the
local product. It will kill the local industries. If the price tags are similar,
a buyer can select the product and the quality. It will energies the market and
the local industries to. While the industries gain a new life, more peoples
will be occupied with them and the economic crisis will go out gradually. If an
exporter offers a product with low price, the government can check the price of
that product in the local market and make its price competitive to the other
products by increasing the tax on it. This will have made the similar market
price and the government can earn more tax on it.
Your points about buying the cheapest item and having it break or wear out early are true. As they have said in Spain for generations, "Lo barato cuesta caro."
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately there is a limit to what governments can do to control quality--mainly because it is subjective. Who can really say what is good enough? My attitude has always been "charge me a little more and sell me something that is better," but many people don't look at it that way.
One thing that governments might do is similar to Consumer Reports or UL Labs: test products and give them ratings. Then if people want to buy something cheap and poorly made, at least they can't say they weren't warned.
There could also be a system of minimum quality, but this would involve massive cost and manpower, which of course would have to be paid for by taxes (quite possibly a tax on the products) which would make products excessively expensive.
It is not like that; government doesn’t need to place any quality controller to control the quality of the product. The consumer will act like the quality controller, if the price tag is similar. They will judge the product before buying. The product demands quality itself, if the price tag is similar. For example, an Italian made shoe coasts 50 Euro and a Chinese product which look like as the Italian one will coasts 20 Euro. At this time a common man will think about the product and he may be desire to buy the Chinese product. If the government desire to make to make these two products with a similar price, the buyer will buy the quality product. It will demand the Chinese product to improve the quality. Otherwise it will not have sold out. Now if you go to a hypermarket, and try to buy a bad quality product, the sales man will advise you to not that product. It is because of the reputation of the store. If a buyer buys a cheap product from their store, they will never come back. So they will advise the costumer to buy the good quality product. And it makes a very much bad reflection on the fabricators who produce the cheap products. And the economy of that country is going down. Still Chinese market is hanging in the global economy is only with the help of local markets. If they are also starting to advise the buyers, Chinese economy will be vanished out. So I am asking the governments to control the price tag of the products to protect the local economy.
