The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c11.s5.6

c11.s5.6

A comparative study of economic and technical conditions from the earliest times carried over the most diverse regions of the world would, however, indicate that anthropologically speaking, neither economic centralization (e.g., financial, statistical etc.) nor administrative control in economic enterprises ought to be regarded as a "function", sociologically considered, of climate and Nature. As Breloer's work is based on these fundamental postulates it has served but to repeat in a new form the fallacies of monistic regionalism or "geographical interpretation" of culture from Hegel to Huntington.²⁷ In reality the kind of planned economy that he has discovered in India can be ascribed to many countries, primitive, ancient and medieval.
