Economics from Gandhi

Can we as a nation draw economics lessons from Life of Mahatma Gandhi and put it in a book and give to our kids/college students.

Well! I was just wondering how Mahatma Gandhi would have given incentives to our government employees to work efficiently and honestly. If the man could inspire million of Indians to fight for freedom, I assume his economics would have been very subtle and easy.

Having said that, he was best marketing man India has ever produced. He used to travel in general class to mingle with Indians whom he wanted to inspire to fight for India.

We as a country need Gandhi economics lessons to stay connect with India and its core values. And If you browse through some quotes of Gandhi, you understand that his quotes go beyond time limit. The whole world is crying for climate change and etc (without doing anything). If you live the life Gandhian way, probably we would had been better-off.

If anybody knows a book on this topic, please let me know.
