The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c11.s5.35

c11.s5.35

One is at liberty to have own's own views in regard to the methods and problems of contemporary societal remaking. Economic planning happens to be a phase, the most recent phase of applied economics, sociology and politics in Eur-America, nay, in Asia too. One can understand its origins and necessities as one can appreciate also the origins and necessities of *laisser faire*, economic freedom, democracy and "liberalism." The one system is as relative to world-conditions as the other. But in order to justify a measure that one considers to be very necessary for today it should be as utterly unwarrantable to father it upon an ancinet Hindu statesman as upon an ancient European.
