Direct taxes are taxes on income, property, capital gains etc. On the other hand, indirect taxes are taxes on goods and services. ... Now, in the case of indirect taxes, the rich and poor should pay equal tax rate while they purchase a commodity. Here, indirect taxes don't consider the income of the consumer. While direct taxes are imposed on income and profits, indirect taxes are levied on goods and services. A major difference between direct and indirect tax is the fact that while direct tax is directly paid to the government, there is generally an intermediary for collecting indirect taxes from the end-consumer.

Measures initiated by the government to improve agricultural marketing are as follows:
- Regulation of market is required to create orderly and transparent marketing conditions. In regulated markets, sale and purchase of the produce is checked by the Market Committee consisting of representatives of government, farmers and the traders.
- Improvement in physical infrastructure is to improve the agricultural marketing. As the current existing facilities such as roads, railways, warehouses, processing units are not sufficient to meet the growing demand. Hence, government ensures the improvement in physical infrastructure.
- Cooperative marketing is the measure taken by the government in realising the fair prices for farmer products. Farmers, as members of these societies, bargain well for better prices for their produce through collective sale.
- The supportive policy instrument are assurance of Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for agricultural products, maintenance of buffer stocks of wheat and rice by Food Corporation of India (FCI) and distribution of food grains and sugar through Public Distribution System (PDS).

Human capital affects economic growth and can help to develop an economy by expanding the knowledge and skills of its people. The skills provide economic value since a knowledgeable workforce can lead to increased productivity. Capital formation increases investment which effects economic development in two ways. Firstly, it increases the per capita income and enhances the purchasing power which, in turn, creates more effective demand. Secondly, investment leads to an increase in production.

During periods of growth, output rises, increasing the demand for labor and thereby decreasing the unemployment rate. Likewise, during periods of contraction, output declines, meaning companies need to lay off employees, which obviously increases the unemployment rate. Low unemployment means the proportion of jobs available is relatively high compared to the number of workers competing for those positions. Because fewer people are looking for work, employers have to offer higher wages to entice people to work for them, meaning incomes go up.

Multiplier is a double-edged weapon. It works in the backward direction as much as in the forward direction. The process of income propagation through multiplier does not work in the forward direction only. ... The higher the MPC, the greater the value of the multiplier and greater the cumulative decline in income. In economics, a multiplier broadly refers to an economic factor that, when increased or changed, causes increases or changes in many other related economic variables. In terms of gross domestic product, the multiplier effect causes gains in total output to be greater than the change in spending that caused it.

The money creation process is the movement of reserves from bank to bank, with each bank using excess reserves to make loans (and checkable deposits), then keeping a fraction of the reserves to back up newly created deposits.

These studies have indicated that 1 per cent growth in the infrastructure stock is associated with 1 per cent growth in per capita GDP. Natural resources are essential inputs for production in many sectors, while production and consumption also lead to pollution and other pressures on the environment. Poor environmental quality in turn affects economic growth and wellbeing by lowering the quantity and quality of resources or due to health impacts, etc.

Objectives of a Government Budget. Briefly put, promoting rapid and balanced economic development with equality and social justice has been the general objective of all our policies and plans. General objectives of a government budget are as under:
(i) Economic growth. To promote rapid and balanced economic growth so as to improve living standard of the people. Economic growth implies increasing capacity of the economy to produce more goods and services. Public welfare is the main guide.
(ii) Reduction of Poverty and Unemployment. To eradicate mass poverty and unemployment by creating maximum employment opportunities and providing maximum social benefits to the poor. Social welfare is the single most objective of the government. Every Indian should be able to meet his basic needs like food, clothing, housing along with decent health care and educational facilities.
(iii) Reallocation of Resources. (A 2010, D 2011) To reallocate resources in line with social and economic objectives, government has to allocate resources into areas where private sector is not coming, e.g., sanitation, water supply, rural development, education, health, etc. Moreover, government provides more funds to productive sectors and draws away resources from some other sectors to promote balanced economic growth of different regions.
(iv) Reduction of inequalities/Redistribution of income. To reduce inequalities of income and wealth government can influence distribution of income through levying taxes on the rich and granting subsidies to poor. Government uses progressive taxation policy, i.e., high rate of tax on rich people and lower rate on lower income group. Government provides subsidies and amentities to people whose income level is low. More, emphasis is laid on equitable distribution of wealth and income. Economic progress in itself is not a sufficient goal but goal must be equitable progress.
(v) Price Stability/Economic stability. Government can bring economic stability i.e. can control fluctuations in general price level through taxes, subsidies and expenditure. For instance when there is inflation (continuous rise in prices), govt. can reduce its expenditure and when there is depression characterised by following output and prices, govt. can reduce taxes and grant subsidies to encourage spending by people.

Per capita income is the measurement of money earned per person in a certain zone. In layman terms, we can say that “Per Capita income is the Income supposedly earned by a single person in a country.” It is calculated by dividing country's national income by its population. It should not be misunderstood by average income (because it includes non-employed and kids population), rather it serves as a pointer to a country's living standards. It can be applied to the average per-person income of a village, city, state or country. It can be used as a means of gauging the living circumstances and quality of life of citizens.

A fast food restaurant, also known as a quick service restaurant (QSR) within the industry, is a specific type of restaurant that serves fast food cuisine and has minimal table service. The food served in fast food restaurants is typically part of a "meat-sweet diet", offered from a limited menu, cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, finished and packaged to order, and usually available for take away, though seating may be provided. Fast food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation that provides standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels. The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951.
Arguably, the first fast food restaurants originated in the United States with White Castle in 1921. Today, American-founded fast food chains such as McDonald's (est. 1940) and KFC (est. 1952) are multinational corporations with outlets across the globe.
