Discuss the co-relationship between Political and Economic Liberty.

Solution

Economic liberty means an opportunity to get all the things or substance without depending on somebody else with. A man who is constantly worried about his living, who is frustrated, ignorant a bonded labourer, a beggar, political liberty has no relevance for him.

Let us take the classic example of India where 26% of the population lives below the poverty line. The liberty to vote freely has no meaning to them ; rather political liberty has led to corruption in the country. For example, election in India are influenced by money power.

In fact, political liberty has no meaning unless it is founded upon the fabric of economic liberty. Similarly, a society which prefers economic liberty without political liberty makes the people unhappy as it deprives them of their political expression.
