Economist Gandhi: The Roots and the Relevance of the Political Economy of the Mahatma
Book information
Description
This book is a refreshing take on Gandhi's economic philosophy. It provides insights into the hidden facet of Gandhi's personality, and his thoughts on economics and capitalism. The book captures aspects of Gandhi's thinking usually missed by those who are sure they know Gandhi. This is probably the first book on Gandhi that claims that Gandhi was not against business and capitalists. In fact, the author maintains that Gandhi was a Baniya by caste, and this is what explains Gandhi's positive approach towards business, trade and wealth. Title page Contents Foreword 1.
