EP-251 | How Temples Can Power India's Economy | Trump's Vision For USA | Sriram Balasubramanian
Description
What is Dharmic Capitalism? How can Dharma power India’s economy? What role do temples play in the modern economy? How has Dharma shaped India’s economy over the centuries? And how did Kautilya use Dharma to boost the economy and ensure political stability?
Sriram Balasubramanian, an economist and author, explores these questions in the latest episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash. Discussing his latest book, 'Dharmanomics: An Indigenous and Sustainable Economic Model', Sriram explains how India's economic frameworks once left the world in awe.
This is his second book, following 'Kautilyanomics', which examined how Kautilya, also known as Chanakya's ideas have found resonance in today's world. Sriram also discusses the critical role of wealth creators in society. Based in the USA, Sriram also shares his thoughts on Donald Trump’s economic vision for America and his plans to steer the country’s financial future.
