Description

This book is a definitive introduction to the classic text, the Arthashastra, the world s first manual on political economy.

The 2000-year-old treatise is ascribed to Kautilya, the prime minister of King Chandragupta Maurya, and is as important to Indian thought as Machiavelli s The Prince is to Europe.

Arthashastra, or the science of wealth , is a study of economic enterprise, and advises the king-entrepreneur on how to create prosperity.

Thomas Trautmann s exploration of this seminal work illuminates its underlying economic philosophy and provides invaluable lessons for the modern age.
