Availability of good health and educational facilities do not depend only on amount of money spent by the government on these facilities. It depends on rich people, big companies, charitable trusts and others. For example, we find that a large percentage of schools and colleges are being run by educational trusts such as DAV College Managing Committee or S.D. Sabha. Similarly, there are many hospitals and nursing homes which are being run by private individuals and trusts. In fact more health and educational facilities are being provided by private persons, trusts etc. than by the government

The main aim of the post-war international economic system was to preserve economic stability and full employment in the industrial world. The United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in July 1944 at Bretton Woods in New Hampshire in USA agreed upon its framework. The Bretton Woods Conference established the following institutions: (i) International Monetary Fund: lts aim was to deal with external surpluses and deficits of its member nations. (ii) The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or world Bank was set up to finance
post-war reconstruction. The above institutions are known as The Bretton Woods institutions or Bretton Woods twins. The post-war international economic system is also often described as the Bretton Woods system. It was based on fixed exchange rates. National currencies were pegged to the dollar at a fixed exchange rate. The dollar itself was anchored to gold at a fixed price of $ 35 per ounce of gold.

There was significant impact of technology on the food availability: (i) Railways, lighter wagons and larger ships helped move food more cheaply and quickly from faraway to final markets. (ii) Earlier in the trade of meat, animals were shipped live from America to Europe and then slaughtered. In the process, many died. It was also a costly affair and beyond the reach of the poor. But with new technology, the animals were slaughtered and then meat was sent through refrigerated ships. This reduced the price of meat. The poor could also afford meat and add to their diet. Better living conditions promoted social peace within the country and support for imperialism abroad. Thus, technology made the availability of food products possible in different and faraway places.

(ii) Prices in India fell sharply. For example, between 1928 and 1934, wheat prices felt by 50 per cent.
(iii) Inspite of fall in agricultural prices, the government, did not reduce the land revenue. Peasants producing for the world market were the worst hit e.g., the collapse of gunny exports Ied to crash in price of raw jute to more than 60 per cent.
(iv) In general peasants’ indebtedness increased. They used their savings, mortgaged lands and sold their jewelry and precious metals to meet their expenses.
(v) India, however, became exporter of gold. The famous economist John Maynard Keynes thought that Indian gold exports promoted global economic recovery.
(vi) In urban India, the condition of people was, however, better because prices had fallen and they with their fixed incomes could purchase more. Industrial investment also increased due to tariff protection to industries under the pressure of the nationalists.
Thus, the Great Depression had affected adversely the rural economy but it was less harmful for urban India.
The death of men of working-age in Europe because of the world war had reduced the able-bodied work force in Europe. Almost in every family some members had died during the war. Thus, with fewer numbers within the family, household incomes declined, after the war.
