This essay sheds light on what is a broken economy, explicates what are the unfavorable economic policies in a broken economy, and demystifies the problems with the economy being a broken economy. A broken economy is an economy that is replete with unfavorable economic policies. A broken economy is an economy that is also devoid of favorable economic policies. The pervasive presence of unfavorable economic policies in an economy can elicit a broken economy that is characterized by precariousness. Unfavorable economic policies are apart of the underpinnings of a broken economy. The implementation of an exorbitant amount of unfavorable economic policies in an economy can adversely affect an economy and can render an economy at a higher probability to become a broken economy. A broken economy is an economy that is at a high probability to experience an economic decline. Furthermore, a broken economy is an economy that is also at a high probability to experience a gross national product decline. Moreover, a broken economy is an economy that is also at a high probability to experience a contraction in the size of its real private sector workforce. A broken economy is also an inflationary economy. One cause behind the occurrence of inflation in a broken economy is attributable to there being massive pent-up customer demand for products at their retail prices that are not produced in sizeable enough quantities to satisfy pent-up customer demand for them at their retail prices. Aggregate customer demand for products can put an upward pressure on the prices of the products that are in high demand and short supply. If there is massive pent-up customer demand for products at their retail prices that are not produced in sizeable enough quantities to satisfy pent-up customer demand for them at their retail prices, then companies may be all the more inclined to raise the prices of their products in order to further amplify their profit margin per product sold. Another cause behind the occurrence of inflation in a broken economy is the desire for companies to amplify their profits. When companies resort to raising the prices of their products in order to further amplify their profit margin per product sold for the prospect of amplifying their net income, then it can adversely affect customer demand for their products in contexts in which their customers are price-sensitive customers. The level of customers demand for their products can plunge when companies raise the prices of their products in order to further amplify their profit margin per product sold for the prospect of amplifying their net income. A broken economy is adversely impacted by the occurrence of inflation in a broken economy. The occurrence of inflation in a broken economy can lead to a significant amplification of prices of products and services overtime. It can be all the more cumbersome for a person who works a real private sector job based on voluntary demand to be able to afford to attain a mediocre standard of living when the prices of products and services amplify overtime. The occurrence of inflation in a broken economy also adversely impinges on the purchasing power of fiat currency. Furthermore, the occurrence of inflation in a broken economy can also render it all the more cumbersome for people who are apart of the indebted economic class to be able to augment their standard of living when the prices of products and services amplify overtime. Moreover, the occurrence of inflation in a broken economy can also adversely impact the standard of living of the people who are apart of the indebted economic class. A broken economy is also an economy that has a cornucopia of unfavorable economic policies. In a broken economy, the type of demand for products and services is involuntary demand. This is because, in a broken economy, people lack purview over how all of their money is expended. Furthermore, in a broken economy, there are an exorbitant amount of evisceration fees that are imposed by bureaucratic apparatuses. In this controlled market economy, there are an exorbitant amount of evisceration fees that are imposed by bureaucratic apparatuses which people who work real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand pay and do not receive anything for paying. It is more cumbersome for a person to be able to elevate his standard of living if he lacks purview over how all of his hard-earned money is expended. In a broken economy, people also lack purview over how all of their sacrosanct time is earmarked. Moreover, in a broken economy, there is also a mandate for people to be sentenced to a 13-year, K-12 compulsory concentration camp. In this controlled market economy, there is a mandate for people to be sentenced to a 13-year, K-12 indoctrination camp.
