Why market is so important?

A trade occurs when two parties take part in buying or selling goods or services. The mechanism that allows trade to occur is called a market. Trading occurs when a country exploits their abundance of resources by exchanging its surplus for a resource that another country can provide. This idea expanded beyond local markets and now international trade between countries is key to the global economy and is the epicenter of economic growth and development.

Open trade also benefits lower-income households by offering consumers more affordable goods and services. Trade among nations is taken as a sign of good intent and a means of maintaining non-hostile diplomatic relations.

Countries that are open to international trade tend to grow faster, innovate, improve productivity and provide higher income and more opportunities to their people. This trading process will create more profit so that the Government can get more money through taxes.

The government cannot survive unless it collects taxes from citizens, residents and businesses. Without this revenue, taxpayers would not receive many of the conveniences they've become accustomed to, such as Social Security insurance, transportation infrastructure, a military and a wide range of other services and programs.

This is how any efficient Government operates.   

1st mistake:

Brexit: how did the UK vote? The UK voted to leave the European Union on 23 rd June 2016. Leave won 51.9% of the vote across the UK, including 53.4% in England, 52.5% in Wales, 44.2% in Northern Ireland and 8.0% in Scotland.

What's in the Brexit deal?

Freedom to work and live between the UK and the EU also comes to an end, and in 2021, UK nationals will need a visa if they want to stay in the EU more than 90 days in a 180-day period.

Northern Ireland will continue to follow many of the EU's rules in order to avoid a hardening of its border with the Republic of Ireland. This will mean however that new checks will be introduced on goods entering Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK.

As a result of Brexit, UK has lost the nearest big EU and Northern markets. This is a big mistake.  

2nd mistake:

British Prime Minister Liz Truss admitted mistakes had been made with her government’s controversial “mini-budget” announced last week – which sent the pound to historic lows and sparked market chaos – but stood by her policies.

Truss’ government announced that they would cut taxes by £45 billion ($48 billion) in a bid to get the UK economy moving again, with a package that includes scrapping the highest rate of income tax for top earners from 45% to 40% and a big increase in government borrowing to slash energy prices for millions of households and businesses this winter.

Why Does the Government Need Taxes?

Governments collect taxes to ensure that they raise revenue to fund their activities. It is the most practical way for them to finance their spending on the public goods and services you require as a citizen. And these include public benefit programs that assist those who cannot help themselves, such as the unemployed, disabled and children within the foster care system.

In addition, the taxes you pay also fund the building and maintenance of public infrastructure, payment for human resources that provide government services such as the military, the maintenance of public parks and other public investments.

UK new PM is making another mistake:

Rishi Sunak has vowed to close all 30 Confucius Institutes in the country. He has also accused his competition for the top job, Liz Truss, of being “too soft” on China.

As I have mentioned earlier, every country wants to have as many friendly countries as possible to trade for mutual benefit. By closing down the 30 Confucius Institutes, UK will lose the Chinese market which is the biggest market in the world. China has 1.428 billion people.

i opine the new UK PM is under the threats of US particularly he and his relative are rich. Imagine a scenario US may impose sanction on you and your immediate family and relatives' banks' account where US has connections and more so to his father-in-law. The reason i said so is because before he became PM already promised to rectify the mistakes that Truss has made. One of the mistakes that Truss made is unfriendly towards China and so is bilateral trade decreased/diminished and this issue is also the main the concerns of their UK majority citizens/going on strikes.

That is what is called a patriot. Loyal to the country where one is born. Unlike, some traitors who are citizens of a nation but holding foreign country's flag.

Answer : So true! Anyway China relations with EU UK US alrady reach burn the bridge situation! But i confuse with Grandpa Koon! He is so pro China yet send all his children to Canada! I believe all his children and grandchildren are citizens of Canada! So why keep taking credit for China! I am sure Grandpa Koon will be the first to jump off the plane if you offer his China citizenship! Many local chinese may take credit of China success but nobody want to send their children to China!

Xi..................................Misguided patterns of thinking such as money worship, hedonism, egocentricity, and historical nihilism were common, and online discourse was rife with disorder. All this had a grave impact on people’s thinking and the public opinion environment.

The new gov should focus on the following matters:-
1. Economy - the local currency, foreign investors' confidence, prices, inflation, national
debts and the red tap affecting the labour forces/ shaortages in the market/industry.
2. Corruption in the country - corrupted representatives/MP/authorities.
3. Racial and religion - racial cards/disunity/divide and rule tactics.

True. But, firstly one should be out there to subscribe to the theories that taught by the professors in the universities.

There are many wickedness in the world and those unbelievable ways to contravene the norms as used to be subscribed by the innocent ones. You are right, it is the dirt in the politics.

That's why the laws/rules of law are important. The country can only become a rich nation/strong when there is no corruption in the administration/governance and the society.

The US & UK has long been abusing fair international trade with their entitlement attitude. They have long never produce significant surpluses or surpluses in significant real beneficial goods and services that the world needs. The biggest export of these 2 countries which they forced it on to the world to pay for are highly inflated weapons, military (world security?), cultural entertainment goods and services. The world really don't need these kind of product and services.

EPl is a long lasting export.
