Shortly before His departure Shri Prabhát Ranjan Sarkár (1922-1990) observed, “Economics today is a theoretical extravaganza. It should be made more practical.” He was of the view that economics must be a precise, practical science and should be properly developed for the welfare of all. Shri Sarkar’s writings on Prout are contained in the 21 volumes of the ‘Prout in a Nutshell’ series consisting of more than 250 discourses over 1400+ pages. ‘PROUT at a Glance’ by Shri Ganesh Bhat offers a comprehensive survey of this holistic philosophy.
