The book Ardttha Saasthra was written by the ancient Indian philosopher and statesman Kautilya, also known as Chaanakya and Vishnuguptha. He was the teacher and Prime Minister of the first proper Indian Emperor Chandraguptha Mourya. The book deals with the principles and rules of governing an Empire including even the methods of successfully annihilating enemies. In proper terms, the book is a classic in economics. Ardttha means wealth and saasthra means science.
