Tata said that Mukesh Ambani's house Antilla represents the </span><i>rich Indian's lack of empathy for the poor</i>. His remarks: <span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">"The person who lives in there should be concerned about what he sees around him and [asking] can he make a difference. If he is not, then it's sad because this country needs people to allocate some of their enormous wealth to finding ways of mitigating the hardship that people have." </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">Is Ratan Tata right in his remarks or is he misguided in his judgements? Is he aware about the role of an entrepreneur in an economy or is he ignorant of this basic economic fact? Or is his remarks has some underlying assumptions which make those remarks perfectly apt for Mukesh's lifestyle? Let me deal with these questions one by one. I take two scenarios to carry out my analysis. In first scenario we assume that Mukesh Ambani is an honest entrepreneur and his profit comes from the market competition. </span><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">In second scenario we assume that, Mukesh is not an honest entrepreneur and his profit comes from his business ties with government officials and his manipulation of the system of State. </span><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">We see the implications of Ratan Tata's remarks under both these scenarios.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"></span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"><span class="currency_converter_text">Scene </span><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount"><span class="currency_converter_link" title="Convert this amount">1</span></span></span><span class="currency_converter_text">: Mukesh is an honest entrepreneur</span></span></b></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">I first make an assertion and then go onto prove it. If Mukesh is an honest entrepreneur then his profit - which he earned in the market competition - is absolutely legitimate, and if he don't desire to do a philanthropist work then that is his voluntary choice. Ratan Tata has no right whatsoever to advise Mukesh about allocating his honestly hard earned wealth amongst the poor people or to comment on his lavish lifestyle.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">As <a href="http://mises.org/humanaction/chap24sec1.asp" style="color: #963232; text-decoration: none;">Ludwig von Mises</a> explained, the only way in which an entrepreneur can make profit in the market competition is by serving and fulfilling the most urgent wants of his customers in the best possible way, and that best possible way is of providing top quality goods at the lowest possible price. Only those entrepreneurs succeed and make profit in the market process who can ascertain and fulfill the subjective wants of customers in the best way compared to his counterparts. </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">By producing and selling top quality goods at a lowest possible price successful entrepreneurs allow even the very poor people to buy his products. By allowing them to buy his products he lifts their standard of living; he lifts them out of their poverty even without raising their nominal meager income. That happens because with the falling prices in the market with the same amount of nominal income people can now buy more goods and services i.e., their real income rises. And no sane person will deny that this is the real way of increasing prosperity in the society; this is the true way of eliminating poverty and lifting the standard of living of millions of poor people. </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">Philanthropy, about which Ratan Tata is advising Mukesh, will only help poor people in a very short run i.e., for the urgent immediate consumption purposes. Such help to poor people will actually harm them in the long run by making them dependent on such easy free money. It will not cultivate any habit of hard work and independent living in those people. Redistributing the income will only exacerbate the problem of poverty because human nature is such that most people will always prefer the free goods. Such allocation of rich peoples' income will make everyone of us poor too because rich people play an important role of providing essential <i>savings</i> for the economy. And without savings it is impossible to sustain a labor population in present time which is involved in production of intermediate capital goods. And without capital goods it is impossible to increase the future production of final consumption goods, and without that progress (so-called growth) is not possible. Capitalist class - which includes people coming from all strata of society, and not just rich - plays a pivotal role of supplying this saving. If they are forced to allocate their saving to poor people, who will mostly use it for immediate consumption, then society and economy cannot progress and without progress everyone of us will be poor one day for sure.</span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">And people should not forget another vital economic truth that, honest entrepreneur do not become rich by exploiting the public, but they are made rich by their consumers i.e., the same public. Consumers voluntarily buy the products sold by such sellers because they prefer their products over other sellers. And in this process they give their portion of income to these entrepreneurs making them rich in turn. Profit is a signal that the businessman is fulfilling the most urgent wants of his consumers in a best possible way, and that's why he is rich. On the other hand those entrepreneurs who make losses are not fulfilling consumers' wants properly and so they remain poor in turn by going broke! (to deeply understand the beautiful system of <i>profit & loss </i>I will advise my readers to read Mises' wonderful book, <a href="http://mises.org/daily/2321" style="color: #963232; text-decoration: none;">Profit and Loss</a>). </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"></span><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">So, if Mukesh is an honest entrepreneur then he has all the rights to keep and use his profit in whatever way he wants to. </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Profit generated by such dishonest political maneuvering is immoral. In a system of government such businessmen are working not to serve their consumers but only to serve the politicians and bureaucrats who help them in restricting the market competition. They actively lobby government so to establish their monopolies in the market. Through these monopolies then they fleece the consumers. And because their profit depends on exploiting the political system they don't care about their consumers. In fact they go to any length to harm their consumers for making such illegitimate and immoral profits. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

They should try to provide as many economic goods as possible to people of India through market competition. Tata and Mukesh both can profit by serving the needs of poor people. There exists a thriving market even in remotest rural poor areas of the world as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fortune-Pyramid-Revised-Updated-Anniversary/dp/0137009275/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306292253&sr=8-1" style="color: #963232; text-decoration: none;">C. K. Prahalad</a> has shown. All capable entrepreneurs (existing and new ones) should provide top quality private schools, hospitals, private roads, electricity, water works, sanitation, home etc. goods in these areas at the lowest possible price. That will be the best possible moral way of making a difference in poor peoples' lives; that is the only way in which these entrepreneurs can help the poor in mitigating their hardships. Allocation/redistribution of wealth will only result in misery for all of us. </span></div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><div class="post-footer" style="color: #989898; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 0px;
