The history and Financial crisis of 2007 tells the importance of financial markets. World system theory has divided countries into three categories. The categories are core (Developed), semi-peripheral (Developing) and peripheral (Underdeveloped). Core countries are said to be developed because of many reasons. And one of the reasons is investment. The development of any country majorly depends upon the investment made domestically. And that investment turns into more capital accumulation. Resultantly, it enhances growth and leads to development. Financial markets pave the way for development. It lessens the unemployment, reduces poverty, and increase capital accumulation.
The financial market is the engine of the economy because they help in directing the flow of savings and investment in the economy to facilitate the more accumulation of capital and production of goods and services. Somehow, we can say it is a mediator between the development and investor. Investors and entrepreneurs go to the financial market in order to raise money to expand and grow their businesses and that results collectively in the success and strength of the economy. The financial market includes the stock market, debt market, money market, and foreign exchange market. All these controls all financial activities of the economy. Financial markets perform various functions likewise, making the savings useful, settling the price of securities and then making those securities liquidated. Financial markets provide a place where debtor, creditor, investor communicate easily and also it provides access to capital. History suggests that the core countries have achieved such potential by more capital accumulation. We have the recent example of the miraculous economy of china which has invested an enormous amount in the capital and turned that capital into development. Markets in developed countries are well organized and playing an active role in sustainable growth. However, the betterment of financial markets in developing countries could improve the financial conditions of the country.
Researches have suggested various policies to be implemented to make the financial markets stronger. First, govt can set a less interest rate over loans in order to make more investment domestically. And also there should be less intervention of govt in credit allocation. Secondly, the equality of opportunity for everyone should be provided so that everyone could borrow loans and make investments. The result of all will be fruitful. Unemployment could be decreased; the life of living could be improved. The poverty issue could be tackled. Ultimately all results will be in social and economic development.

Myth of Freelancing | Opinion

Image
Freelancing is very easy, and you can be your own boss. You can do whatever, whenever, and wherever. You may have heard these lines very often. In my opinion however, these are flawed lines and are used only to develop interest and have nothing to do with freelancing in reality. Almost all experienced freelancers would suggest you : stick to only one skill set. So that you can focus on your expertise and provide greater value. But I will somehow disagree with them because what they are saying may be quite right, but only for their own level. They rarely understand or speak on beginner’s level. The level that they are at, has much freelance work, and has a team of their own. So, they are not facing the same problems as the beginners. As a matter of fact, there are many complexities as you start your journey at freelancing as a beginner. Not only you need to be patient, which is said by almost everybody, but also you need to have enough time, enthusiasm and sometimes little i

Creating Drives Drive, though a little word, has many meanings emerging from different senses of use. One of which is to motivate. Here, it is worth mentioning that its meaning to motivate is in the most advanced sense. Which means to motivate oneself to accomplish a desired aim by any means. So, creating drives for oneself to remain focused and keep moving without being stuck in useless things is the best way to achieve success.

They just give you the idea to create a drive. Because only you can create one for yourself.  So creating drives makes you accomplish your aim.  A second interesting thing about it is you do not feel obsessed with doing much for

The air was cool enough to touch the skin and relax it. the place where they were sitting was a garden. Both were looking cool and comfortable to face the scene.  The day was peaceful, Pen and Pencil were facing each other and the arguments begin as, Pen: You are so unrealistic and overly down to earth. You do whatever people say to you and they manipulate you often. Pencil : People are not perfect and they do make wrong choices and commit mistakes, I am just considerate about them.
