Arthashastra is an ancient Indian Sanskrit book on statecraft, economic policy, and military strategy. Since the book relates to a broad scope of topics, it can be viewed as a complete manual on building a state based on Hindu philosophy. The name of the book is translated as "the science of wealth." The book includes chapters on the nature of government, law, civil and criminal court systems, ethics, economics, markets, and trade, the methods for screening ministers, diplomacy, theories on war, nature of peace, and the duties and obligations of a king.The book possesses giant educational value and remainsever topical. Although it was created more than two millennia ago, it gives instructions that can be helpful today. For example, the author recommends lifting taxes on the areas devastated by natural phenomena or epidemics, helping to rebuild the areas which suffered and fortify major strategic towns.

Book Description
Primera traducción al inglés del libro Arthashastra, antiguo tratado indio sobre arte de gobernar, política económica y estrategia militar, escrito en sánscrito. Probablemente sea el trabajo de varios autores a lo largo de los siglos, Kautilya, también identificado como Vishnugupta y Chanakya, se acredita tradicionalmente como el autor del texto. Este último era un erudito en Takshashila, el maestro y guardián del emperador Chandragupta Maurya. Sin embargo, los estudiosos han cuestionado esta identificación. Compuesto, ampliado y redactado entre el siglo II a. C. y el siglo III d. C., el Arthashastra fue influyente hasta el siglo XII, cuando desapareció. Fue redescubierto en 1904 por R. Shamasastry, quien lo publicó en 1909.

Book Description
Keen investigates why conflicts are so prevalent and so intractable, even when one side has much greater military resources. He asks who benefits from wars-- whether economically, politically, or psychologically-- and argues that in order to bring them successfully to an end we need to understand the complex vested interests on all sides.

Book Description
An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of statecraft of classical times. The text contains fifteen books which cover numerous topics viz.; the King; a complete code of law; foreign policy; secret and occult practices and so on. The Arthashastra is written mainly in prose but also incorporates 380 shlokas. Artha; literally wealth; is one of four supreme aims prescribed by Hindu tradition. However; it has a much wider significance and the material well-being of individuals is just a part of it. In accordance with this; Kautilya's Arthashastra maintains that the state or government of a country has a vital role to play in maintaining the material status of both the nation and its people. Therefore; a significant part of the Arthashastra has to do with the science of economics. When it deals with the science of politics; the Arthashastra describes in detail the art of government in its widest sense—the maintenance of law and order as also of an efficient administrative machinery.
