By economic equality Gandhi does not mean that everyone will have literally the same wealth. The real meaning of equality implies the principle “from each according to his ability to each according to his need”. Every individual in a society must contribute something to the social life and in return would be able to live a descent life. Each person should get what he/she really requires provided such needs are natural. But in practice it is found that man’s craving for material goods has no limits. This craving for unnatural things and comforts gives rise to competitive acquisitiveness. In this process there is concentration of wealth in the hands of a few individual. They manipulate to acquire wealth disproportionate to their actual needs. Exploitation gives rise to accumulation. When a few people who are in an advantageous situation go on accumulating wealth, majority of the people go unprivileged. Gandhi finds that the deprivation of the millions is due to the capitalistic system of economy and rapid industrialization. The capitalistic system is responsible for the wide economic gap between the people in the society. In his system majority of the people are deprived of the basic needs of life whereas a minority group lives very exuberantly multiplying their wants beyond their natural needs. Rapid industrialization has helped the capitalistic system to create great economic disparities in the society. It has also given rise to unemployment and ecological imbalance. Gandhi was thoroughly dissatisfied with capitalistic system, industrialization and possessiveness which mean accumulation of wealth with a selfish motive.
