I was reading a report on the economic survey - came across an interesting observation made in the survey.
It says - Many noble plans (read government policies such as MREGA,subsidies on kerosene, food grains) fail because it assumes people are morally flawless. It argues to do away with this assumption. On the contrary, people(police men,shop keeper,citizens) must be be viewed as "rational selfseeking agents". Wow, Is nt this openly admitting that we are all flawed( which I feel is true by the way) . Very happy to see truth being spoken out in such plain words. Some food for thought?. :-)
Let us hope that some government action follows thisobservation in the economic survey.
