How Vinoba Bhave is discussed in this archive
Referenced in 11 other works , including Co-operative Farming , Economic Prophecies , and Congress Misrule and the Swatantra Alternative .
In Economic Prophecies : Vinoba is paired with JP as the second hypothetical Gandhian prime minister: even Sarvodaya leadership at the top of government, Shenoy argues, would be insufficient to reverse India's economic course without a thorough cut to public-sector outlays.
In Congress Misrule and the Swatantra Alternative : Masani invokes Vinoba Bhave — a moral authority of the Gandhian establishment — as an unimpeachable witness to the dangerous concentration of power under the Second Five Year Plan, lending Sarvodaya credibility to a liberal critique of state capitalism.
In Free Enterprise in India — A Call For Leadership : Acharya Vinoba Bhave's January 1959 warning that concentrated power in the name of welfare digs democracy's own grave is invoked by Shroff in his closing to anchor free enterprise advocacy in India's own moral tradition.
In Free Enterprise in India - A Call For Leadership : Acharya Vinoba Bhave's January 1959 warning is invoked alongside Gandhi's in Shroff's closing call for private enterprise to assume civic leadership.
In Co-operative Farming : B.P.
