Excerpt from Principles of Comparative Economics, Vol. 1
Les relations des travailleurs avec les autres membres de la communauté different aux Indes de ce qu'elles sont en Europe. Une énumération des diverses professions, des services rendus par les artisans, des prix qui leur sont payés, des tableaux de la proportion dans laquelle chaque branche d'activité s'est développée, nous ouvrent un jour nouveau sur la vie indienne'. Le chapitre con sacré aux finances et a l'administration communales, nous apprend comment la communauté se procure des ressources en prélevant des taxes sur les mariages, les funérailles les transactions de diverses natures sur la proprieté immobiliére, sur les locations de terres et de pfiturages, la vente de la Viande, la vente des fruits des arbres qui bordent les routes.
Beaucoup de transactions se font en nature. Des quantités déterminées de grain s'échangent contre certains poids d'autres denrées, telles que le sel, l'huile, le sucre. Les proportions varient peu. Les transactions qui se font en argent donnent lieu a des ouvertures de crédit, a la création de hundis, qui sont de véritables lettres de change, a des em prunts hypothécaires.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a bold new approach to the study of economics, arguing that traditional economic theory, rooted in hedonistic psychology and utilitarian ethics, requires a fundamental re-evaluation. The author, building upon recent advances in the sciences of life, mind, and society, proposes a framework that incorporates physical and biological principles into the analysis of economic phenomena. He challenges the conventional view of production as simply a creation of wealth, instead proposing that it involves a transformation and redistribution of energy. This perspective leads to a deeper understanding of value, consumption, and the dynamics of labor. The author further contends that justice in economic systems is ultimately rooted in the physiological principle of restoring energy expended during labor. He examines the intricate relationship between production, distribution, and consumption, highlighting how these processes are interconnected and interdependent. The book expands upon these ideas through an exploration of regional economics, analyzing how different economic types and stages are shaped by their unique cultural and environmental contexts. He introduces the concept of communalism as an evolving economic type, contrasting it with individualistic and socialist models, and arguing for the importance of collective values and cooperation in achieving social and economic justice. The book concludes with a compelling discussion of the aesthetic and religious dimensions of communalism, demonstrating their vital role in shaping economic values and institutions. This book offers a compelling and innovative lens through which to reexamine the foundations of economic theory, revealing the complexities and interconnectedness of economic processes within a broader socio-cultural context.
