The book highlights the global trend towards centralising economic and fiscal powers at the national level, rather than empowering local governments. In contrast, the author explores Gandhian principles of decentralisation and local government finance, arguing that Gandhi's belief in local autonomy is essential for true democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book compares Gandhian decentralisation ideologies with modern theories of fiscal federalism or fiscal decentralisation in public finance, proposing that decentralisation can help address pressing issues like inequality, human development, environmental sustainability, unemployment, and urbanisation. Through Gandhian values, it advocates for local financial systems prioritising community needs and autonomy, rethinking fiscal policies from a humanitarian perspective. This book aims to provide policy insights for fostering more inclusive and responsive governance structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Need for a Paradigm Shift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDebates on Development\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructural Analysis of Gandhi's Ideas of Decentralisation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheories of Fiscal Decentralisation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContemporary Issues of Fiscal Decentralisation in India\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGandhian Philosophy and Fiscal Decentralisation: A Need of the Hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYours and Mine: Our Development Dilemma\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHimani Baxi\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Assistant Professor at the School of Liberal Studies, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
