The Economy of Permanence: A Quest for a Social Order Based on Non-violence (स्थायी अर्थतन्त्र)

Economy of Permanence
type of organization based on competition and centralized industries lands us
periodically into terrific upheavals. These have to be avoided if nations are to
progress steadily towards a set goal, which will bring peace amongst nations
and prosperity to the citizen.
Only in such a state can we expect fair play for the weak, justice to the
common man, where might will not be right and i where there will be no
premium on deceit and exploitation. Such a society will not have the glamour
of ill-gotten gains; neither will there be the attraction of rackety carriers, but
it will have a steady upway trend towards a stable culture bringing man out
from the jungle bestowing on him the dignity of a human being. This calls for a
considerable amount of self-discipline and self- control. We hope these will be
forthcoming in the required measure and thus enable us to see the advent of
the economy of permanence.
