Gandhi an Approach to Development Planning
By: Singh,Ram Binod.
Publisher: New Delhi Concept Publishing 2006Description: viii, 278p.ISBN: 8180692655.Subject(s): Economic Planning -- Welfare economics -- India | Socialism -- Social movement -- Sarvodaya -- IndiaDDC classification: 338.954 Summary: The existing models of development, that are being practised, have failed to deliver the good. There has been increasing awareness about the failure of both Keynesian and neoclassical economics. There has been serious questioning of the relevance and meaningfulness of economics to the present-day reality. This questioning has initiated and encouraged the search for alternative ideas on basic assumptions, policies and principles. Gandhian economics provides a major alternative. The present book, Gandhian Approach to Development Planning, deals with this basic question in multi-dimensional manner—social, political, economic and technological, besides moral and spiritual aspects of man and the society. Going deep into the Gandhian approach to planning and development, it discusses at length Gandhian concept of man and society; challenges to acquisitive society; his criteria of welfare economics; and his views on trusteeship, Sarvodaya, total revolution, a socialistic pattern of society and environment. The book will be of great use for Gandhian researchers, development planners and welfare economists.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |

Including bibliography
The existing models of development, that are being practised, have failed to deliver the good. There has been increasing awareness about the failure of both Keynesian and neoclassical economics. There has been serious questioning of the relevance and meaningfulness of economics to the present-day reality. This questioning has initiated and encouraged the search for alternative ideas on basic assumptions, policies and principles. Gandhian economics provides a major alternative.
The present book, Gandhian Approach to Development Planning, deals with this basic question in multi-dimensional manner—social, political, economic and technological, besides moral and spiritual aspects of man and the society. Going deep into the Gandhian approach to planning and development, it discusses at length Gandhian concept of man and society; challenges to acquisitive society; his criteria of welfare economics; and his views on trusteeship, Sarvodaya, total revolution, a socialistic pattern of society and environment. The book will be of great use for Gandhian researchers, development planners and welfare economists.
