The study of ancient Indian economic ideas is likely to endow us with a deeper insight into our culture and tradition and the inherent national characteristics. Many scholars particularly during the first half of the twentieth century attempted to make an objective and unbiased evaluation of ancient Indian economic ideas explicitly or implicitly contained in ancient Indian writings particularly in Vedas Arthasastra Ramayana and Mahabharata Manusmriti Sukraniti and several other ancient Indian texts. Ancient Indian Economic Thought Relevance for Today deals with the two most well known ancient Indian writings Arthasastra and Manusmriti. This volume is distributed over eleven chapters viz. sources and essence of ancient Indian tradition agriculture and land use environment and ecology craft industries role of the state sector price policy taxation and fiscal policy women's property rights division of labour the procedure of making a good rulers and globalization. Each chapter has a declared focus in its approach as is evident in its presentation. This volume is an extremely timely publication when the countries are putting more and more emphasis on the use of indigenous knowledge and ideas in the development of their economies in a sustainable manner as the limitations of imported theories and technologies for economic development are becoming evident especially for the low income economies in the beginning of the third millennium. Researchers and general readers will find this volume fruit bearing and useful in the area of policy making. 200 pp.

Economics in Arthasastra is an edited volume of about 20 articles dealing with the economic content of Arthasastra by Kautilya written more than two thousand years ago in India. This volume has been prepared with a specific objective to bring into limelight the fact that economics as a subject was evolved in India much earlier than the present western ideas on economic thinking. It will also explode the myth that quite a few western addicted persons feel that there is no proper economic content in Arthasastra. It is expected that this book will rekindle the motivation of the researchers to look back to the wonder that was India in order to press forward for an India shining in the near future. Let economic wisdom of the past guide the route to the economy of the years to come. 310 pp.
