Is Government Responsible For Bad Economy?

[Alonso_]

Who else should be held responsible for bad economy if not the Government, government are the once that should be responsible for the GDP of a country, they’re the once making all the business decisions and business arrangements, so perhaps we should be more concerned about ourselves and wellbeing instead of being affected by the government policies, the citizens aren’t responsible for bad economy because they’re not the once who are responsible for making those decisions and handling the affairs of the country.

Off course government is responsible for any country economy, a country where the government are nonchalant towards their citizens and economy , the said country may not have any good development, bad governance is the worst thing to happen to any country ,because when the head of a place is not behaving well how will the other part manage, our leaders are our head whereas they don’t do things right it will definitely affect us , and sometimes we also contribute a little to bad economy.

That's contributes a lot as we all know that bad governance affects the development of the country, if the leaders are good then they may produce good rules and ordinance that will help to increase the chances of the people that surrounds them to get benefits, though people also needs to work and be a good part of the development but leadership will bring the good success to each nations to be a good and well developed place.

Very true. The government has the responsibility for the economic condition in the country. It is because the government that makes the policy of everything in the country, it is including the policy related to the economy sector. If they government doesn't care with the condition of the economy in a country, no doubt that there will be improvement of the economic condition there. This is happening in my country, we have a bad economic condition due to lack of proper management in the economic sector. The value of our currency is declining quickly, meanwhile the prices of goods are raising gradually.

~ so perhaps we should be more concerned about ourselves and wellbeing instead of being affected by the government policies ~

It is impossible to avoid the influence of the government policy. As long as we still live in the country, we are tied with the policy.

After looking at some functions of the government,  we will see that it is always the government that is responsible for the provision of either a good or bad economy. When any government fails, the result is always hardship and bad economy

When their people struggle to survive, it often gives the impression that the government is not doing its job properly and may be involved in negative things such as corruption, laziness or failing to provide the best solutions for its citizen. When the government cannot provide proper solutions, society will starts showing negative effects such as rising criminal behaviour and increasing numbers of uneducated people.

The government really got a major role in a country and when it fails in its responsibilities, the results are exactly like you said. Don't forget that citizens also play an important role because when the government is involved in corruption or other bad actions, people should criticize and hold their leaders accountable instead of staying silent and watching them enjoying the results from corruption.

It's correct that the government is responsible for the poor economy, but if a country has less resources such as natural resources or agricultural land, then it will not be easy to develop that country. How much that country will progress economically depends on turning its citizens into resources. Because without skilled manpower, the structure of a country will not be strong. To build a skilled and talented citizenry, the education sector must be improved. It is not possible for the government alone to reach its target because the productivity of the country has to be increased and for this, a skilled citizenry must be built.

Some of the places in many countries are deserts where crops do not grow, but they have natural resources such as crude oil reserves under the ground. Through proper management, it is possible to develop the country through those oil resources. Without putting the entire responsibility on the government, it is possible to improve the country's economy through proper management in conjunction with conscious citizens and pressure groups.
