Description
Economics of Khadi is a foundational text by Mahatma Gandhi that delves into the economic principles underlying khadi production and its role in India’s struggle for independence and self-reliance. Gandhi argues that khadi represents more than just handwoven cloth; it embodies a philosophy of sustainable economics and social justice.
The book examines how khadi production can uplift rural communities, reduce dependence on foreign goods, and create economic opportunities for marginalized populations. Gandhi’s analysis challenges industrial capitalism and advocates for decentralized production systems that prioritize human dignity and environmental sustainability.
Through this work, Gandhi demonstrates how traditional crafts can serve as instruments of economic transformation and cultural preservation. The text remains relevant today for those interested in sustainable development, traditional economies, and Gandhi’s vision of a self-sufficient India.
