Question

State with reason whether you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Public finance is more elastic than private finance.

Answer in Brief

Solution

I agree with the above statement.

Reason:

  1. Public finance aims to offer the maximum social advantage to society while private finance aims to fulfill private interests.
  2. There is not much scope for changes in private finance.
  3. On the other hand, the government determines the volume and different ways of its expenditure based on the need for an hour.
  4. The government can also print notes through the Reserve Bank of India.
  5. Hence, public finance is more elastic than private finance, i.e., the extent of public expenditure can be varied as per the needs.

Read the given passage and answer the questions:

The conventional notion of social security is that the government would make periodic payments to look after people in their old age, ill health, disability, and poverty. This idea should itself change from writing a cheque for the beneficiary to institutional arrangements to take care of beneficiaries, including by enabling them to look after themselves, to a large extent.

The write-a-cheque model of social security is a legacy from the rich world at the optimal phase of its demographic transition when the working population was numeral enough and earning enough to generate the taxes to pay for the care of those not working. This model is ill-suited for less, well-off India with growing life expectancy, increasing urbanization, and resultant migration. Social security under urbanization will be different from social security in a static society.
