No Keywords.Abstract
India has a rich intellectual legacy in the area of economics and finance. Arthashastra that emerged around 4th century BCE is a testimony to this. A proper evaluation of this magnum opus has still not been possible. Of the many unraveled areas of it the one pertaining to competition and related issues is really worth looking at. This article tries to look at it and attempts a comparative analysis with the modern day theories and policies of competition economics.
