Chapter 12 question 6

I found that it was kind of funny that India, after they won their independence and were a more isolated economy wanted a spiral on their flag to shows that they were economically sufficient. I think this is a perfect example of how people's pride can get in their way of becoming successful. I'm sure after India was free for Britain, they wanted to show everyone that they were slef sufficant so the best way to display that some may think is closing themselves off from others. However, ironically enough, one India opened up their economy and trade to the resort of the world, it was a even greater booming success! I feel like this is interesting because it can apply to people outside of economics. I lot of times people won't ask for help and want to be independent, but they they do open up, the help of others and help everyone successes more.
