Budget has a demand problem

For much of economic history, the idea that production would eventually generate its own demand rested on a set of strong assumptions: flexible prices, full employment, and a financial system that transmitted savings smoothly into investment.

Debt in distress

Most big defaulters are well-connected tycoons and have the money to employ legal eagles who can play the judicial system ~it is here the law flounders. India has some of the most draconian laws in books; they are ineffective against powerful dodgers. We keep producing new laws when the existing ones are adequate and just need more teeth to obtain results.
