Explanation:

Lloyd Rudolph and  Susanixe Rudolph (they are husband-wife) have attempted to find correlates between the nature of polity of the state and economic characteristics. They have written a book – In Pursuit Of Lakshmi: The Political Economy Of The Indian State.

The demand polity refers to the situation when the government’s policies and programmes are for the short-term benefits of people. The allocations and welfare activities are carried out keeping elections in mind. The model of command polity refers to that political set-up in which allocations and distributions are oriented to the long-term goals and sustainable benefits to people. The role of the state in command politics is monopolistic and oligopolistic. In the existing world, both these polities are found in a mixed form to varying degrees.
