The economy is inextricably linked with our daily lives. In Ancient India also there was no exception. This economic trend has changed at different times. Like the reshuffle of power, the change in the course of economy was also noticeable. The wheel of the economy was sometimes upward and sometimes downward. Sometimes the wheel of the economy was the cause of power shifting. Because the economically powerful rulers wanted to seize power by invading his neighboring states. That's why the rulers wanted to run the economy of his state smoothly. One of the policy makers of the Ancient India like Maurya, Gupta, or whatever the period was depended on how active the economy of that period was. This book has been written on the basis of reviewing some related literature, articles written on the basis of Ancient India.
