Is Pushpa Free Market Lover? | EconBolly | Pushpa Loves Competition
from Swapnil Karkare Podcast: Economic Insights on India · host Swapnil Karkare
Pushpa wants to rule. But he wants the syndicate members around the Seshachalam Hills to become rich too. So, what's a syndicate? Richer - what do you mean by that? And what are these hills? What the hell are you talking about? Are you feeling like that? Well, first things first - spoiler alerts (lots!). You probably have to watch the movie (or a few minutes which I mentioned on Prime Video) to understand the context - although I have explained it quite well at the beginning. The movie revolves around the red sandalwood's illegal trade and how Pushpa moves up the ranks in the smuggling group. But the economist in me found out the hidden forms of competition and markets in it and how it technically fits the storyline as well. However, although the movie buff in me wants to know what happens in the second part, the economist is worried about a couple of technical concepts. What is this all about? You have to watch the entire video to understand why monopolies are bad and competition is good and how Pushpa is, therefore, the free market advocate. This is the second such episode on movies.
