Abstract
Perestroika is defined and the type of economic change it implies is considered. Its potential for realising its objectives is assessed by evaluating various principles of Gandhian economics. Perestroika relates well to swadeshi equality, non‐exploitation and bread labour. It has some elements of aprigraha but completely lacks trusteeship. It is this lack of the principle of trusteeship that may be its undoing.Keywords
