Gandhi's Swadeshi - The Economics of Permanence

Gandhi's Swadeshi - The Economics of Permanence: Principals of Swadeshi

Gandhi's vision of a free India was not a nation-state but a confederation of self-governing, self-reliant, self-employed people living in village communities, deriving their right livelihood from the products of their homesteads. Maximum economic and political power - including the power to decide what could be imported into or exported from the village - would remain in the hands of the village assemblies.

RIGHT ON, Gandhi!
