The Mouse Merchant: Money in Ancient India Book Information:

nt India, money is always a good thing and everyone wants it. The stories in The Mouse Merchant selected from the Sanskrit universe, from the period of the late Rig Veda to the twelfth century tell us how money was dealt with in everyday life in ancient and medieval Indian society. At the heart of these tales is the merchant. Sometimes gullible, sometimes greedy, ingenious at some moments, dim-witted at others and hopelessly in love with courtesans but also loyal to their wives, our merchant heroes show how innovation in business is sometimes more important than capital. The Mouse Merchant puts these stories into the context of Indian business history, giving not only rare insights into the romance of the ancient sea faring life but also great wisdom about money. Selling Points An enjoyable and insightful collection of stories about what people in ancient India thought of money.The stories are set in classical times but the issues they deal with ethics and pleasure are fully contemporary. The author Arshia Sattar's translation of the Ramayana is a critically acclaimed bestseller.
