Principle of trusteeship
Reduce Inequalities : This concept tries to reduce inequalities. It tries to reduce
the gap between the rich and poor. It tries to reduce exploitation.
Change of Attitude of Businessmen : According to Mahatma Gandhi,
businessmen should change their attitude. They have no morale right to accumulate
unlimited wealth while most of their countrymen live in poverty and misery. Each
businessman should take enough wealth to live honourably. He should distribute
the remaining wealth back to the society. Gandhiji advised the rich businessmen to
voluntarily surrender their surplus wealth. If not done so, the poor masses may
revolt (fight) one day and plunder their entire wealth by force.
Social Pressure : People must put social pressure on businessmen to follow the
principle of trusteeship. They should boycott (not purchase) the products of those
who do not practice trusteeship.
Legal Pressure : If voluntary measures and social pressure do not work, legal
pressure must be put on the businessmen to follow the principle of trusteeship.
Socialism : This concept gives more importance to socialism. That is, the society
is given much more importance than an individual. So, the wealth of the society
should be distributed equitably to all its members.
Consider Social Needs : Businessmen should produce only those goods and
services which are useful for all members of the society. They should not produce
goods and services, which are used only by few individuals.
Equal distribution of wealth : According to Gandhiji, all the wealth of the society
should be distributed equitably. There should not be concentration of wealth in few
hands.
Earn money by Hard work : A person should earn his living by doing hard work.
Earning money without doing hard work is just like stealing.
No Right to Private Ownership : This concept does not give the right to private
ownership except when it is necessary.
Government Regulation : The Government should regulate trusteeship. No
Individual should be allowed to use his wealth for selfish satisfaction or against the
interest of society.
