The book presents a groundbreaking step in the creation of a new Gandhian political economy.
Reviews
Professor Ghoshs present work is the first book to develop the Gandhian political economy. He brilliantly examines Gandhian methodology and further themes on inequality, justice, conflict resolution, the role of government, industrialization, and the reasons for development and underdevelopment. This is a must read for those who wish to know how Gandhis thought can be applied to contemporary political economy issues, and how it is in essence a political economy perspective on the world. Professor Phillip OHara, Curtin University of Technology, Australia
I do not know any other work on Gandhis economic thought that is remotely comparable to Professor Ghoshs book in its depth and range. It fills an important gap in the Gandhian literature and should encourage economists to pay closer attention to the epistemological, moral and other presuppositions of their discipline. Professor Bhikhu Parekh, University of Hull, UK
Professor Ghoshs new book on Gandhis pioneering contributions is a major work that is both timely and highly relevant to meeting contemporary challenges of development studies. It is amazing how refreshing Gandhis thinking remains after more than half a century. The book deserves to be read widely. Professor Ozay Mehmet, Carleton University, Canada, and Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus
Gandhian prescriptions may appear to be utopian at present. Yet, we often resort to the Gandhian model in cases of resolution of conflict and violence. This book on Gandhian Political Economy is a brilliant attempt to analyze the dynamics of the real Gandhian system and its applicability in practice. Professor R.K. Sen, Rabindra Bharati University, India
