Applicability of Keynesian Ideology in the Zimbabwe's Economic Growth Path

Economic development disparities are caused mainly by unjustified biased policies and not in actual fact biased policies. Balanced policies are often recommended for balanced growth of all economic sectors. However, through sector linkages, and due to lack of funding in many developing nations, ranking of sectors according to strength and speed of transmission is essential. This paper seeks to express the suitability of the Keynesian ideology to boost economic growth in Zimbabwe. The paper criticize current economic policies that are biased on the supply side of the economy. The study indicates that the purchasing power of the citizens is very low and hence they opt for cheap imports. The manufacturing sector's cost of production is a bit higher as compared to more stable neighbouring firms (imports). The continued increase in import tariffs and banning of products will not help in the face of lowly paid citizens and an economy with high unemployment. The study concludes by encouraging the relevant authorities to boost the demand side of the economy so that the supply side will respond considerably, which will take the economy to a better level of development
