First published in 1935, Mauryan Public Finance by M.H. Gopal explores the economic administration of the Mauryan Empire through the lens of modern economics. Drawing primarily from Kautilya’s Arthashastra and comparing it with ancient Athens, Gopal examines revenue sources like land, mines, and taxes, alongside expenditures on governance, education, irrigation, and defense. This insightful study highlights the Mauryan Empire's fiscal sophistication, making it essential for scholars of Indian economic history, and Indian economics.
