Book Description

Back Of Book

Arthashastra literally means "the text concerned with general well being on earth". Kautilya's famous treatise of this name had a two-fold aim; first to show how a ruler should protect and enhance the well being of his territory. Second, how to acquire more territory.

The implications of this for today's statesmen, policy makers, think tanks, captains of economy, corporate professionals are obvious.

The present book is a critical step towards bringing the lessons of the Arthashastra closer to today's decision-makers. Kautilya wrote this treatise to groom a young prince for the onerous task of kingship. His teachings are still relevant for their underpinning of hard - headed logic, clear vision and result-oriented focus. They have been presented here in an elegant and appealing format for contemporary readers.
