Economics Of Khadi

"Economics of Khadi" by Mahatma Gandhi explores the spiritual, economic, and national importance of Khadi (hand-spun cloth) in India's struggle for independence. Gandhi presents Khadi not merely as clothing, but as a symbol of self-reliance, rural empowerment, and resistance to British industrial exploitation. The book emphasizes village industry revival, economic decentralization, and dignity of labor. Gandhi advocates Khadi as a means to eradicate poverty, promote swadeshi (indigenous goods), and unify India’s masses through honest, simple living rooted in self-sufficiency and social justice.
