Gandhi’s formulation of trusteeship is based on his basic pre-suppositions. He firmly believes that by birth all men are equal and that all wealth belongs to the society. Because of this assumption he holds that the daily wages of all people in the society should be equalized. If there is some difference with regard to talent, intelligence, physical strength etc., there can be modest difference in the wages, but that will not give rise to a big gap in the society. Further people should utilize their talent for the welfare of the society. Since men are born equal they have a right to equal opportunity. If a person has more than his proportionate need, he becomes a trustee of that so as to utilize it for common good and not for his selfish interest. Since Gandhi believes that all wealth belongs to the society, he is against private accumulation or hereditary inheritance. Trusteeship ensures the transfer of wealth from the privileged class to the unprivileged class. The privileged class can be impressed upon with the idea that they should act as trustees and the wealth in their possession should be utilized in a constructive way to ameliorate the conditions of all. Anybody who has the wealth or talent can be appealed to act as a trustee. Thus Gandhi holds that what belongs to an individual is actually the wealth of the community for every person is an integral part of the society. A person’s relationship to his material possession is like that of a trustee. He has to manger it without any selfish attachment. The material possession of an individual is not a personal possession but can be used in the service of others who are less privileged. Similarly a scientist, a scholar, a technocrat, a doctor, a lawyer etc., the elite class of the society, should use their talent to alleviate and help people in society which has nourished them to develop their ability and talent. So talents should not be used for exploiting others or accumulating property for personal benefit. Talents should be recognized and utilized for social betterment. So, people having surplus wealth or some talent should act as trustees of the society.
