Arthashastra

Great reading. Learn history.

I teach 7th grade Social Studies and we go over Kautilya and the Arthashastra so I felt I needed to have a copy of the book in my classroom. I love the gold edges for the pages and the material used for the hardcover book. Watch out. With this books in my hand I will be ready to rule a country!

Great read

Good translation, easy to read.

Incredible. Should be mandatory for every school and university

Fascinating text from an oft overlooked place and time when you're in western civilization. But the pages are terribly thin, though the book looks cool on the shelf.

Ultimate should read it.

The book isn't what I expected, but there's lots of valuable knowledge in it.

Vishnugupta Kautilya was truly far ahead of his time. This is one of the greatest works on governance ever written

I don't think a world-religion and ancient philosophy reader ought to have a book collection without the Arthashastra. If one owns a Tao Te Ching, a Bible, various of Plato's work, Upanishads, etcetera, this should fit right in among them. This pairs well with The Prince, and Art of War, although I originally keyed in on Kautilya's Arthashastra via Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra. So, one might put Arthashastra on a shelf with The Art of War, The Prince, but also Upanishads, and Kama Sutra, and Ovid's Art of Love. I could go on... but just dropping this short review as-such. It's a good book.
