The strategist who built an empire on arithmetic.

More than two thousand years ago, Chanakya, the teacher behind the Mauryan Empire and the Arthashastra, taught that every undertaking depends on the treasury. His principles of foresight, discipline and self-reliance are remarkably useful for managing money today.

Chanakya on Money distils 30 clear rules for personal finance, each with three parts: the principle, what it means today, and one action to take now.

- The mindset of wealth: why money supports a good life, and why time is your greatest asset
- Earning: effort, skills that cannot be stolen, and more than one source of income
- Saving and spending: pay your treasury first, guard against leakage, keep accounts
- Debt and danger: high-interest debt, guarantees, lending and modern financial fraud
- Growing and protecting wealth: diversification, insurance, patience and succession planning

It ends with a practical 30-day Chanakya Money Plan.
