Description
“Ancient Foundations of Economics in India” by K. T. Shah explores the economic principles and institutions of ancient Indian civilization. Drawing from classical texts like the Arthashastra and Dharmashastra, Shah analyzes systems of trade, taxation, agriculture, property rights, and state control. He demonstrates how economic thought in early India was deeply interwoven with ethics, law, and governance. The book offers a scholarly yet accessible view into India’s rich economic heritage, challenging the notion that economic theory in India developed only in the modern era.
