One of the best way to make the economy of country stronger and stable is the promotion of its local products. Instead of importing things from other countries, under developed countries have to focus on the production and promotion of their own products. Governments should make the products of their own country easily accessible and purchasable for the citizens. This will make the economy of country stronger
It doesn't work that way
In the modern world self-sufficiency (North Korea style) is a dead end. But you really don't need to be an Einstein to understand what makes the economy strong. The real way to get strong economically is to export something nobody else can produce but which everyone wants (e.g. the American dollar)
This gives you a competitive advantage, and if you have a lot of such goods, you are the king of the hood (in this case, of the whole world). Then you can choose among the bunch of producers whose goods you need to import, if at all. Put differently, export everything that is unique and import everything that is not
It will work.
Economic independence is the key to a country's progress and growth. Effective demand or the purchasing power of the people in the country must be the basis of economic growth. This means that the growth development strategy through equity or growth with equity-oriented domestically. The populace in the economic system emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the interests of the people and the livelihoods of many people, which is sourced from the people's sovereignty.
The truth is state development not development in a country. Poor and developing countries must consciously form a pattern of national production (pattern of production) based on domestic resources themselves. Avoid Manufacturing sectors that depend on foreign countries, become import-dependent. The high import contents in manufactured products, as evidence of the government not building an economy in accordance with our natural resources (resource-based), but there is the influence of the "import-business" skipper who has microeconomic interests, which often conflict with efforts to restructure the economy macro. Therefore, we still have to carefully distinguish between economic recovery efforts (the style of the IMF and neo-classical ones) and reformatory economic recovery (macro) which contains the aim of economic restructuring, namely overcoming structural imbalances.
Relying on state revenues from the export sector alone is disastrous, especially if there is a global economic slowdown and a weakening dollar. Domestic consumption but made into a country's macroeconomic fundamentals.
Poor countries do not want to only be a market for developed country products. There must be a joint movement for the benefit of citizens so that the economy can spin in poor countries. The views of developed countries towards poor countries are as follows: Poor countries do not mean they do not have the ability to buy. still have purchasing power, although it is weak compared to developing or developed countries. This country is what in the economic world is called the bottom of the pyramid (BOP). The amount is greater than developed countries.
With the consolidation of the bottom of the pyramid, poor countries can be independent. Action that can be done is to stop imports and start exploring domestic resources and capabilities. No need to grandiose to develop advanced infrastructure. It is enough to keep the money going in the country. As citizens, we can support government programs by loving and buying domestic products. Avoid shopping at supermarkets that are owned by foreigners. Always shopping at traditional markets around our area. So that money continues to revolve at the bottom of the pyramid, which in turn, prosperity and progress for the poor.
Learning from the American trade war against China, the ultimate goal is the independence of US manufacturing of Chinese products. Developed countries just try to be as independent as possible.
