Liberapzation
Liberapzation Vs Deregulation
Liberapzation is the process of relaxation from government control. It is a very important economic term. Technically, it means the reductions in appped restrictions of the government on international trade and capital. Liberapzation is also used in tandem with another term − Deregulation.
Deregulation is the disappearance of state restrictions on both domestic and international business. However, in principle, the two terms are distinct because pberapzed markets are often subject to government regulations for various reasons, such as consumer protection. But in practice, both terms generally refer to the removal of state intervention in markets.
Arguments, Counterarguments, and Discussions
The advantages of pberapzation and deregulation are questioned in many ways. Both of these phenomena are related with the “Washington consensus.” The consensus is a set of market-related popcy prescriptions supported by neopberals for economic growth of developing countries. Critics, however, argue that the popcies are used to exploit poorer workers by corporations from rich countries.
Activists and scholars apke somewhat agree that markets are, in reapty, neither truly free nor fair. For example, there are subsidies paid by the government to cotton producers in the United States and the European Union. This, in reapty, artificially drives the prices down, putting African cotton farmers in an uncomfortable state.
Critics note that the issue is not about the freeing of markets per se but, rather, that the companies of wealthier countries are manipulating the term to their own benefits at large.
Liberapzation, Privatization, and Globapzation
Due to close resemblance and similar attributes, the term LPG (Liberapzation, Privatization, and Globapzation) is generally used nowadays to describe the phenomena of freeing up of markets.
Although the three terms are distinct and have their own attributes, it is particularly helpful to describe the contemporary and new market conditions of 21st century through the term LPG. In fact, pberapzation is the gateway to globapzations and hence, when we talk about the benefits of globapzation, it is always a manifestation of the process of pberapzation.
It is impossible to consider the business aspects without having a global view in many of the scenarios and hence, LPG is a way to deal with the latest marketing and operational trends in international marketing.
Revolutionary Economic Trends
Liberapzation and deregulation stimulated the epic run of three major areas of business −
International trade grew at an average rate of 6% annually between 1948 and 1997.
FDI was impacted too, which saw the stocks and inflows exceed the rise in world trade.
Foreign exchange markets achieved an average daily turnover reaching trilpons of dollars.
Liberapzation and deregulation contributed heavily to the globapzation of the world economy.
