What explains this long period of prosperity? The answer might lie in a framework of social and economic thought that lies buried in our ancient heritage, says Sriram Balasubramanian, of which Kautilya\u2019s Arthashastra is a major example. Kautilyanomics for Modern Times seeks to do three things\u2014first, to provide a structure and a context for Kautilya\u2019s economic thoughts; second, to examine his work\u2019s relevance today; and third, to do it in a way that a lay reader can follow and grasp easily. Kautilya\u2019s thought is mainly articulated through the prism of dharmic capitalism and its components\u2014some examples include his views on global economic outlook, state-market dynamics, and sustainable growth through observance of environmental, societal and familial responsibilities. Fathoming India\u2019s rich economic and philosophical heritage and making use of it, Balasubramanian argues, would prove to be a great asset in India\u2019s\/the country\u2019s\/the nation\u2019s ascent again."}
