Most global citizens are well aware of the explosive growth of the Chinese economy. Indeed, China has famously become the "workshop of the world." Yet, while China watchers have shed much light on the country's internal dynamics - China's politics, its vast social changes, and its economic development - few have focused on how this increasingly powerful nation has become more active and assertive throughout the world.

A general perception exists that ancient Indian literature on economic matters is fatalistic and an admixture of sacred and secular thoughts. Economic Sutra provides a comprehensive perspective on the elements of Indian economic thought leading up to and after the Arthashastra.

Per anni l'economia cinese è stata lodata e temuta per la sua capacità di crescita inarrestabile. A partire dalla fine degli anni Settanta, il risveglio del drago condizionò pesantemente le economie di tutti gli altri paesi, che dovettero adeguarsi per resistere meglio alla sua influenza, ma che beneficiarono anche di questo potente balzo, che ha trainato in maniera sostenuta l'economia mondiale negli ultimi decenni.
