Abstract

Argues for a stricter compliance with Gandhian economics to promote more effective economic development in India and other developing countries. Copying Western economic practices has not helped India. The application of the more socialist Gandhian principles would produce a more even standard of living for all ‐ no one would want for the basic necessities.
