The background of Gandhian economy is very strong. Gandhi was fighting against extreme poverty, backwardness and socio-economic challenges as a part of the freedom movement. While the world has progressed manifold over the past century, the past few decades has forced to pursue that progress, mostly in terms of economic growth. The poster word for development, capitalism, has been busy in most countries. Trusteeship is a unique concept advocated by Gandhi to establish social and economic equality. It is a concept that has its origins in spirituality, in which a person voluntarily surrenders his surplus wealth, and entrusts it for the welfare of the poor section of the society.
