There has been an intense quest for some alternatives to replace capitalism and socialism which in India are borrowed systems from the West, and which are breaking down as a system for the poor. The real shortcoming of the systems is the complete lack of public morality and goodness that the rich in power, owe to the poor. Of late, a few economists started taking initiative in bringing spirituality as a necessary component of the system as its Indian face but this did not succeed due to dominance of the forces in power.It is felt that a continuing national and spiritual movement by the masses could give out a chaste indigenous system where the rich and the poor alike could work together for a honourable, prosperous and peaceful society. Some Gandhian norms of simplicity and austerity have to be worked out with Religion and Vedant as the greatest uniting forces. The book is an humble attempt towards this end.
