Indian economic thoughts predate Plato, Aristotle: IIM prof
Research by IIM Ahmedabad professor Satish Deodhar claims that history of Indian economic thoughts goes back to Vedas composed at least 1,000 years before Plato and Aristotle's writings. He said while the 4th century BC Greek writings are considered to be the foundation of modern economic thoughts, "scant attention" was paid to Indian economic thoughts due to foreign invasions.
