In the introduction to the Farm Research Committee's book *Srila Prabhupada on

Varnasrama and Farm Community Development* we have made just that point. Srila

Prabhupada studied the economic and social concepts of both Marshall (the most

famous capitalist economist of his day) and Gandhi (whose ideas were the

opposite of Marshall's). Thoroughly familiar with both perspectives, he was

able to present yet another perspective, which utilized some ideas form each,

but was beyond the level of either thinker.
