Summary:

In Marxist theory, socialism, or the socialist mode of production, refers to a specific historical phase of economic development and its corresponding set of social relations that eventually supersede capitalism. Socialism is a mode of production where economic activity is based on directly maximizing use-value through conscious economic planning, where monetary relations in the form of exchange-value and wage labour cease to exist out. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born into the Hindu Modh family in Porbandar, India, in 1869. He was the son of Karamchand Gandhi, the diwan (Prime Minister) of Porbandar, and Putlibai, Karamchand's fourth wife, a Hindu of the Pranami Vaishnava order. Gandhiji considered the individual as the pivot of all social concerns. He should be central focus of all social services for the alleviation of his sufferings. This book original the basic framework of Life, Work, Philosophy and Political policy of Marx and Gandhi. It will be highly valuable to politicians, policy-makers, scholars, students and teachers.
