Gandhian economics (original) (raw)
Gandhian economics is a school of economic thought based on the spiritual and socio-economic principles expounded by Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. It is largely characterised by rejection of the concept of the human being as a rational actor always seeking to maximize material self-interest that underlies classical economic thinking. Where Western economic systems were (and are) based on what he called the “multiplication of wants,” Gandhi felt that this was both unsustainable and devastating to the human spirit.

| dbo:abstract | Gandhian economics is a school of economic thought based on the spiritual and socio-economic principles expounded by Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. It is largely characterised by rejection of the concept of the human being as a rational actor always seeking to maximize material self-interest that underlies classical economic thinking. Where Western economic systems were (and are) based on what he called the “multiplication of wants,” Gandhi felt that this was both unsustainable and devastating to the human spirit. His model, by contrast, aimed at the fulfillment of needs – including the need for meaning and community. As a school of economics the resulting model contained elements of protectionism, nationalism, adherence to the principles and objectives of nonviolence and a rejection of class war in favor of socio-economic harmony. Gandhi's economic ideas also aim to promote spiritual development and harmony with a rejection of materialism. The term "Gandhian economics" was coined by J. C. Kumarappa, a close supporter of Gandhi. (en) L'economia gandhiana è una scuola di pensiero economico basata sui principi spirituali e socioeconomici esposti dal leader nonviolento indiano Mohandas Gandhi. È ampiamente caratterizzata dal rifiuto del concetto dell'essere umano come agente razionale in continua ricerca della massimizzazione del profitto, come postulato dal pensiero economico classico. Se i sistemi economici occidentali erano e tuttora sono basati sul concetto di “moltiplicazione dei bisogni”, Gandhi sentiva che ciò era insostenibile e deleterio per lo spirito umano. Il suo modello, al contrario, è orientato alla soddisfazione delle necessità, inclusi il bisogno di significato e quello di una vita comunitaria. Come scuola economica, è un modello che contiene elementi di protezionismo, nazionalismo, aderenza ai principi e obiettivi della nonviolenza e rifiuto dello scontro fra classi, in favore dell'armonia socioeconomica. Le sue idee hanno anche lo scopo di promuovere lo sviluppo spirituale nell'economia, rifiutando il materialismo. Il binomio "economia gandhiana" è stato coniato da Kumarappa, uno stretto collaboratore di Gandhi. (it) |
