Arthashastra or economics is today linked with Chanakya, even though he himself claims his knowledge to have come down from Shukra, the Guru of Asuras, and Brihaspati, the Guru of Devas. Since Chanakya eclipses Shukra and Brihaspati, Arthashastra has become more Statecraft, or Dharmashastra, than Economics.
