Class 10/13

In his article "Economic and Moral Progress", Gandhi makes the observation and point that while economics is continuing to experience positive progression morality has not been as such in its progression in the world.  He goes on to prove his claim by comparing individuals in society and the universal application that material or worldly possessions do not improve our lifestyle as much as the means of moral progress.  Gandhi wanted to see why the country has rapidly advanced in riches, but gone down in morality. As he sees it, society sees possessions and other economic riches as success and happiness. Most believe that the key to a well developed and successful society is through these worldly possessions, but Ghandi sees success in a much different way. He believe that a successful society puts it's moral progression before it's economics. Ghandi himself was seen as successful not because of what he owned and how much money he had, but by gaining knowledge, trusting friends and gaining wisdom from his life experiences .
