When the economy of a country has fallen, the economic situation of the country is against the wish of the citizens, leading to so many anomalies in the country. Fallen economy can lead to economic instability causing hardship in the country, it can lead the citizens to engage into committing series of crime as a way out for survival.
So what can you say concerning this fallen economy, is it caused by the citizens or the government?

The government plays a major role in the improvement and deterioration of the economic situation, but there is no chance of hiding the actions of the common people by blaming the government alone. Both the government and the people of that country have to work for the economic development of the country. The common people cannot change anything if they want, but if the government is honest, then many things are possible. If the government does not commit corruption, then progress is possible. In most cases, it is seen that those who are in the government, because of their own interests, they undermine the interests of the people. They destroy government resources for their own needs. Due to which corruption increases and the economy collapses.

You see. I agree with you when you said that the government and the people of a country will have to work together to be able to change anything they want which in this case is applicable to issue of economy. But the reason why I will agree with you to a large extent is the fact that it is still a section of the people that forms the government only that these people who will call leaders have been selectively empowered by the entire people of a community, state, region or the country to serve in a position of privilege where they have access to resources and other instruments of the government that other people do not. The reason why I'm talking in this direction is to buttress on the fact that the leaders of a people are always a member of the community or country whom have been selected to lead, so it's not like the case of having a foreigner who comes to serve.

But these leaders who are regarded as government have the larger share of commitment and expectations to better the economy of the country while the ordinary people have little to do about that. The leader is in control of the state's resources both domestic or internal (often referred to as IGR) and external often known as the allocations, to steer the direction of the economy of the state there by shouldering the responsibility to better the economy of the state. It is just like the driver and the passenger scenario in a car. As much as the driver was chosen amongst yourselves, he controls the direction of the car the rest passengers have little to do when it comes to the direction of the vehicle and the same is applicable to the economy of the country.
