Mahatma Gandhi's idea of trusteeship is a pragmatic model of development that aims to attain economic equality in society. This idea is an alternative to communism and capitalism and is based on nonviolence and inclusivity. Trusteeship seeks to resolve the conflict between labour and capital by emphasizing on equitable distribution of work and wages, giving equal importance to manual and mental labour, promoting people to labour for their own bread, creating a society in which all the people are entitled only to as much wealth as required to satisfy their needs and have time for leisure. Trusteeship replaces competition with cooperation by promoting wealthy people to voluntarily abdicate their wealth for the underprivileged. It aims to transform self-interested individuals to work for group-interest. This idea is relevant for the present times when inequality is widening the gap between rich and poor, and weakening the prospects of inclusive development. Trusteeship is a workable solution that can ensure sustainable progress in contemporary times. ; La idea de administración fiduciaria de Mahatma Gandhi es un modelo pragmático de desarrollo que apunta a alcanzar la igualdad económica en la sociedad. Esta idea es una alternativa al comunismo y al capitalismo, y se basa en la no violencia y la inclusividad. La administración fiduciaria trata de resolver el conflicto entre el trabajo y el capital haciendo hincapié en la distribución equitativa del trabajo y los salarios, dando igual importancia al trabajo manual y al mental, promoviendo que las personas trabajen para ganar su propio pan, creando una sociedad en la que todas las personas tengan derecho a tanta riqueza como sea necesario para satisfacer sus necesidades y disponer de tiempo libre. La administración fiduciaria sustituye la competencia por la cooperación al promover que las personas ricas renuncien voluntariamente a su riqueza en favor de los menos privilegiados. Su objetivo es transformar a los individuos interesados en sí mismos para que trabajen por el interés del grupo. Esta idea es relevante hoy en día en los tiempos en que la desigualdad está ampliando la brecha entre ricos y pobres y debilitando las perspectivas de un desarrollo inclusivo. La administración fiduciaria es una solución a la vista viable y que puede garantizar un progreso sostenible en la época contemporánea.
