In 1991, Bruce Rich traveled to Orissa and gazed upon the rock edicts erected by the Indian emperor Ashoka over 2,200 years ago. Intrigued by the stone inscriptions that declared religious tolerance, conservation, nonviolence, species protection, and human rights, Rich was drawn into Ashoka's world. Ashoka was a powerful conqueror who converted to Buddhism on the heels of a bloody war, yet his empire rested on a political system that prioritized material wealth and amoral realpolitik. This system had been perfected by Kautilya, a statesman who wrote the world's first treatise on economics. In this powerful critique of the current wave of globalization, Rich urgently calls for a new global ethic, distilling the messages of Ashoka and Kautilya while reflecting on thinkers from across the ages—from Aristotle and Adam Smith to George Soros.

At The Beginning Of The Twenty-First Century, We Cannot Escape The Turbocharged Global Economy We Live In. Yet The Very Forces That Link All Of Us Have Accelerated The Dissolution Of Traditional Sources Of Social Authority And Historical Identity, Spurring Increasingly Violent Counter Movements. We Realize Traditional National Politics And The Reorganization Of All Social Values Around Markets Cannot Hold Together The Six And A Half Billion Inhabitants Of This Small Planet The World Needs A New Global Order Based On A Common Global Ethic And Global Justice. To Uphold The World Is Bruce Rich'S Deeply Illuminating And Thought-Provoking Exploration Of Such An Alternative. His Search To Found A Civil And International Order On Principles That Transcend The Goals Of Pure Economic Efficiency And Amoral Realpolitik Is Inspired By The Writings And Lives Of Two Of The Greatest Figures Of Ancient India Ashoka And Kautilya. Ashoka Provides A Unique Example Of A World Ruler His Empire At The Time Was Arguably The World'S Largest, Richest And Most Powerful Multi-Ethnic State Who Tried To Put Into Practice A Secular State Ethic Of Non-Violence And Reverence For Life, Which He Also Extended To International Relations. Kautilya, One Of History'S Greatest Political Geniuses, Wrote The World'S First Treatise On Political Economy, The Arthasastra, Which Proclaims Accumulation Of Material Riches As The Chief Underpinning Of Human Society. Both Addressed The Questions Of Political Realism And Idealism, The Role Of Force And Violence In International Relations, And The Tension Between Economics And Ethics. Through The Retelling Of Mythical And Historical Accounts, Bruce Rich Distils The Message Of Ashoka And Kautilya To Help Us Uphold Our World In The Twenty-First Century. A Unique Blend Of Historical And Political Narrative Combined With Reflections On Contemporary Society, The International Environment And Human Rights, To Uphold The World Is Particularly Timely, Because It Puts Forth A Truly Original Perspective And Thinking On Our Responses To The Political, Economic And Ethical Challenges Of Globalization. 'The Reader Is Drawn Powerfully Into A Long-Gone World In Which An Extraordinary Human Being Dramatically Changed His Own Life And The World Around Him . . . A Highly Readable Book On The Importance And Reach Of Some Arguments In Ancient India, And On Their Relevance For Global Problems Today.' From The Foreword By Amartya Sen. 'To Uphold The World Should Serve As A Source Of Great Inspiration . . . It Is My Hope And Prayer That Readers Today May Be Inspired By This Tale Of A Powerful Ruler To Find Ways To Contribute To Making The World . . . A More Just And Peaceful Place.' From The Afterword By His Holiness The Dalai Lama

An economist's perspective on the nuts and bolts of economic policymaking, based on his experience as the Chief Economic Adviser in India. In December 2009, the economist Kaushik Basu left the rarefied world of academic research for the nuts and bolts of policymaking. Appointed by the then Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, to be chief economic adviser (CEA) to the Government of India, Basu—a theorist, with special interest in development economics, and a professor of economics at Cornell University—discovered the complexity of applying economic models to the real world. Effective policymaking, Basu learned, integrates technical knowledge with political awareness. In this book, Basu describes the art of economic policymaking, viewed through the lens of his two and a half years as CEA. Basu writes from a unique perspective—neither that of the career bureaucrat nor that of the traditional researcher. Plunged into the deal-making, non-hypothetical world of policymaking, Basu suffers from a kind of culture shock and views himself at first as an anthropologist or scientist, gathering observations of unfamiliar phenomena. He addresses topics that range from the macroeconomic—fiscal and monetary policies—to the granular—designing grain auctions and policies to assure everyone has access to basic food. Basu writes about globalization and India's period of unprecedented growth, and he reports that at a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, President Obama joked to him, “You should give this guy some tips”—“this guy” being Timothy Geithner. Basu describes the mixed success of India's anti-poverty programs and the problems of corruption, and considers the social norms and institutions necessary for economic development. India is, Basu argues, at an economics crossroad. As CEA from 2009 to 2012, he was present at the creation of a potential economic powerhouse.
