Marshallian definition primarily give importance to the study of wealth in relation to wealth towards the propensity to consume and attaining maximum satisfaction as he clearly undermines that mankind is not only for accumulation of wealth but how he uses the wealth accumulated to his satisfaction which was regarded as material welfare. In other words, it is the satisfaction derived by a consumer by consumption of basic goods that is known as material welfare (44). The connotation made by Alfred Marshall i.e. ordinary human beings are those who get involved not only in accumulating more and more wealth but also try to experience love, sympathy, goodwill, respect, honor, prestige and co- operation. By this Alfred Marshall clearly excludes isolated person not belonging to the society suchas beggars, sages, hermits, monks, saints, etc. As economics studies the economic behavior of people living in the society; it is called social science (45). According to Pigou, “Economics studies the part of social welfare that can be brought directly or indirectly into relation to the measuring rod of money”. Professor Lionel Robbins has criticized the Marshalls definition of economics and introduced the modern definition economics in 1932 A.D. One of the major criticisms by Robbins is that the word “welfare” in Marshall Definition involves value judgments and relates “Economics” to the branch of ethics. But economics should be neutral regarding moral judgments and about what is good and what is bad (46). Even the utility theory of economics as enunciated by Marshall whether it is cardinal or ordinal utility they deal only with the satisfaction level of consumption. However, the concept contained in the above song goes beyond the level of satisfaction and propagate the attitudeof aggrandizement. A careful reading of the analysis will make it clear that Context-XIII gives an entirely new idea of possession of money that may lead to the tendency of aggrandizement that may be the reason for the practice of Alienation remarked by Karl Marx. Indeed this song gives an analogy that are new in theory. As none of the economic theories throw light on the increasing tendency to possess wealth or money; though they exclude money/wealth including gold and liquor under the doctrine of law of diminishing marginal utility. It is a fact that increasing thirst for money or wealth or both would certainly lead to a mental state called aggrandizement. This tendency of aggrandizement is a dangerous proposition that would certainly lead to hoarding and result in corruptive practice in the society. It has become evident that corruptive practice would certainly undermine economic development. It is also quite possible that an aggrandizer may also practice social evils like hoarding and becomes a member of corruptive people. A Study on Bharat Ratna Dr.M.G.Ramachandran’s Philosophical Film Songs that Contain the Ideas of Socialistic and Communistic Ideas Which can be Compared More Specifically with the Communist Manifesto as Propounded by Karl Marx and Engels – An Academic Comparative Study, using a Novel Methodology C ontext- XIV Consider another song from the movie Sabash Mapillai Written by Marudakasi and sung bySirgali S. Govindarjan Film released in the year 1961 Directed by Pa Neelakandan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGD8stCVhKY 14,700 views; Jan 24, 2018 Translation of the Song in English: Those who laugh are less and those who cry due to penury are lot. The life of work-force (laborers) is on the roads and they sleep on the way-side. No one is there to show mercy on them. The tendency of those who possess wealth should come down So that poverty and penury should fly away. Will a day comes where one see those who cry (out of poverty) laugh It is not necessary that the rich should become poor (to improve the state of the work-force) But it is enough, if the state of affairs of the workforce improves. Song Originally Written in Tamil: ரி ் வர் லந ர் அழு வர் லந ர் இருக் ம் நிடல என்று மாறுநமா உடழ ் வன்வாழ்நவ யிநல உறங் வநதா நடட ாடதயிநல இரக்கம் காட்டத்தான் நா யில்நல னம் ரி ் வர் லந ர் அழு வர் லந ர் இருக் ம் நிடல என்று மாறுநமா இரு ் வர் உள்ளம் றந் டுமா ஏழ்டமயும் வறுடமயும் றந் டுமா அழு வர் ரிக் ம் நாள் வருமா உயர்ந்தவர் தாழ்ந் ட நதடவயில்டல உள்ளடத இழந் ட நைால்ல ல்டல உடழ ் வர் உயர்ந்தால் ந ா டமயா Interpretation This song wonderfully indicates the plight and penury of the labour-force. It says that the labour force which suffers and literally sleeps on the way side are numerous as against the few oppressors which not only reminds the concept of Burgeons and Proletariats as indicated by Karl Marx but also the concept of Pure Communism wherein Marx assumes there would prevail a situation of equality between rich and poor and even there will be no partiality between men and women. © 2022 Global Journals Volume XXII Issue V Version I 69 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2022 A
