Panchatantra on Globalisation

Long before the works of Adam Smith, David Ricardo and John Stuart Mills were published, some benefits of globalisation had already been described in the ancient Sanskrit texts of Panchatantra:

	In life, those experts in buying and selling who travel to distant lands for trading will double and triple their fortunes through their unflagging exertions.
	Being afraid of foreign lands, crows, deer and cowards, all shiftless and lacking in energy, will remain and die in their own country.
	Whatever be your task, first ask those you should ask: those who have experience as well as your best interests at heart. Then no obstacle will cross your path.
