...usual custom, she has rarely been out of New Delhi for the past two months and has displayed little leadership this year. Opinion polls, which gave her a whopping 93% approbation after her electoral and military victories of 1971-72, dropped her to 50% last June; and as conditions worsen, so do her ratings. India is suffering from a nationwide sense of depression, frustration and malaise.

We are not to blame for offering our goods or labor services at a higher price, especially if the inflation is expected to continue or worsen. It is the same government that grants privileges to oil companies forcing the needless fuel shortages in this area. Again, it is government-granted privilege to large interests that keeps the prices of medical care, most food, union labor, postal service, transportation, etc., and inf., higher than they would otherwise be in a competitive situation. These interests and the state thrive on theft and find...
