I was away and missed the debate regarding the non-European History 
of Economic Thought. During the last few years I have been trying to 
extend Prof. Spengler's work on the History of Indian Thought. I am 
not claiming to have Prof. Spengler's insights, clarity or analytical 
depth. His project was much broader in scope and his book has only 
one chapter on Kautilya's Arthashastra. I have focused only on 
Kautilya's contributions. These are some of my publications on 
Kautilya's contributions.
