DIRECT MONETIZATION

-


 Printing of the currency has its association with the increase in inflation.  Because if everyone has more money, prices go up instead. Increasing demand  will increase the rate of inflation over time .  

This happened recently in Zimbabwe, in Africa, and in Venezuela, in South America, when these countries printed more money to try to make their economies grow.

Monetizing the deficit is when the RBI directly purchases government bonds (G-Secs) from the primary market to help the Centre’s expenditure. In turn, the RBI prints more money to finance this debt. In other words, monetization of deficit happens when RBI buys government securities directly from the primary market to fund government’s expenses.

When the printing of currency for a longer period of time, resulted into the “hyperinflation”. 

When Zimbabwe was hit by hyperinflation, in 2008, prices rose as much as 231,000,000% in a single year. 

To get sustained , a country has to make and sell more things – whether goods or services. This makes it safe to print more money, so that people can buy those extra things. 

When a country prints more money without making more things, then prices just go up.

No one is making any more of these models. So even if everyone gets more money to spend, it won’t mean that more people can afford to buy them. The sellers will just put the price up. 

At the moment, USA can  sustain the  printing of its currency . Because the demand of dollar is usually very high because of its importance in international trade.

Most of the valuable things that countries around the world trades, including gold and oil, are priced in US dollars. Full article is available on https://upsconline.com/direct-monetization/

EXTINCTION OF MEN : A MYTH OR A REALITY ?

-

The Y chromosome is a never-ending source of fascination particularly to men because it bears genes that determine maleness & make sperm. It’s also small & seriously weird; it carries few genes and is full of junk DNA that makes it horrendous to sequence.  The sex of human & other mammal babies is decided by a male-determining gene on the Y chromosome. But the human Y chromosome is degenerating and may disappear in a few million years, leading to our extinction unless we evolve a new sex gene. However two branches of rodents have already lost their Y chromosome and have survived successfully. In humans, as in other mammals, females have two X chromosomes and males have a single X and a puny little chromosome called Y. The names have nothing to do with their shape; the X stood for “unknown”. The X contains about 900 genes that do all sorts of jobs unrelated to sex. But the Y contains few genes (about 55) and a lot of non-coding DNA – simple repetitive DNA that doesn’t seem t

THE BLOOD & IRON POLICY OF BISMARCK

-
Image
Before 1848, Germany was a confederation of 38 states ruled by princes or kings. Prussia was the largest and most powerful of these states. Prussia and Austria were the two most powerful states. In 1848 the states tried to create a unified Germany, but the attempt failed.  Many Germans believed that unification could only be achieved under Prussian leadership. But the Prussian king did not want to take a crown from the hands of revolutionaries and liberals. Unification would have to be on his terms.  He appointed Otto von Bismarck to be his chief minister in 1862. Bismarck set forth a policy called “blood and iron”. Bismarck intended to use war to achieve his aims of unifying Germany. Bismarck started three wars. The Prussians fought against the Danes, the Austrians, and the French. By 1871, Germany was united. The policy of “blood and iron” had worked. Bismarck’s “Blood and Iron” Speech (1862) is one of the more famous political speeches in the history of Germany and of the world. T

DENISOVA HOMININ : - AN EXTINCT HUMAN SPECIES

-

Neanderthals were very early humans who lived in Europe & Western Asia from about 400,000 years ago until they became extinct about 40,000 years ago.  Denisovans are another population of early humans who lived in Asia & were distantly related to Neanderthals. Much less is known about the Denisovans because scientists have uncovered fewer fossils of these ancient people. Research has shown that modern humans overlapped with Neanderthal and Denisovan populations for a period, and that they had children together (interbred).  As a result, many people living today have a small amount of genetic material from these distant ancestors. Svante Paabo & his team in 2008 in Germany have sequenced nearly all the genome of the Denisovan people, an extinct human-like species contemporary with the Neanderthals.  The work by the Max Planck Society's Evolutionary Anthropology Institute in Leipzig has been first time obtained full genetic data of any of the archaic hominins.  The group
