II. No, theory encourages practice.
Options- A. if only argument I is strong
- B. if only argument II is strong
- C. if either I or II is strong
- D. if neither I nor II is strong; and Discuss
Correct Answer: if only argument II is strong
Explanation:
I is weak because it seems to be at best a joke and at worst a whim . It is not acceptable to reason. Economists, even when in large numbers, are only a handful. So how much do you think you can gain by giving them some other employment? And if you think the devil lies in their theories- that two economists seldom agree-, let me tell you it's a healthy trend. Critics are very important in the upliftment of a society. II is strong because the more the awareness, the greater the activity. See how our economy has developed in recent years.
