Class Banking was replaced with mass banking primarily by the Public Sector Banks by opening branches in remote parts of the country even without basic amenities of life.

consumer goods categories1 originate in just a handful of countries, namely France, Italy, Switzerland, the U.K. and U.S.A. These countries command more than four-fifth of the global consumer luxury goods sales (Pambianco, 1999). While home markets (country of brand origin) play a significant role in sales, luxury brands tend to be global brands. Countries are differentiated in terms of broad product offerings, however; there are also common product categories they offer. Thus, some countries have strengths

talk about three different types of economies. In a first part we will be talking about a planned economy. In a second part we will explain what a free market economy is and to finish we will discuss about the mixed economy which is chosen by most country to rule their own economy. A planned economy is an economy system which is ruled and organized by the government. The economic decisions are related to the investment, the allocation and the allocation of resources. Moreover, the prices are fixed

consumption. The approach followed in this paper has three steps. First, I define a global middle class. There are two schools of thought as to how to do this, divided by whether to take an absolute global definition or a relative definition for each country. I adopt the absolute definition, using a 1 2 See, for example, Galston (2009).

This shift continued to underscore the cross-border debt and local market refinancing activity that has expanded rapidly in both regions in the last few years, replacing subsidized funding from prior periods.

availability. ULCs have been widely accepted as a core component of competitiveness, as the following passage from. Alesina and Perroti (1997) make clear: “we first define ‘competitiveness’ rigorously as ‘unit labor costs in manufacturing in one country, relative to its competitors’ so that an improvement in competitiveness is defined as a fall in relative unit labor costs”. 2 It is not our intention here to review the issues related to the appropriate exchange rate that should have been pegged by

machines, the accounting systems, and the banks’ high street machines. One market, one currency The central argument for joining the euro is the same as the argument for joining the European Single Market: the benefits of market size. If a country joins a wider market, it benefits in two ways. First, producers can reach more customers and so they can operate on a larger scale. This enables them to produce more efficiently. This benefit of scale is contributing to a wave of mergers and of company
