Vedic Economy offers a profound exploration of the economic challenges that have plagued human civilization, including poverty, inequality, scarcity of resources and even impoverished mindsets. A series of impactful events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war leading to food and energy crises, rising inflation, tightening debt and the climate emergency, has created severe and interconnected challenges. In response, the book draws upon the timeless values of ancient India. Amidst the growing influence of Westernization, the book turns to the scriptures of Kautilya’s Arthashastra and Mahabharatha for profound insights and guidance on governance, economics, and social issues. It aims to inspire individuals to integrate the spirit of Vedic Economy into their own frameworks, fostering a transformative experience and contributing to the creation of a better world. The book will appeal to a wide audience including general readers, researchers and scholars.
