''Seven Social Sins'', sometimes called the ''Seven Blunders of the World'', is a list that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi published in his weekly newspaper ''Young India'' on October 22, 1925.〔 Later he gave this same list to his grandson, Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper on their final day together shortly before his assassination.〔(Gandhi's "Seven Blunders of the World" That Lead to Violence . . . Plus 5 )〕 The Seven Sins are: # Wealth without work. # Pleasure without conscience. # Knowledge without character. # Commerce without morality. # Science without humanity. # Worship without sacrifice. # Politics without principle. == History and influence == The list was first published by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in his weekly newspaper ''Young India'' on October 22, 1925.〔''The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi'' (electronic edition), Vol. 33, pp. 133-134. ISBN 8123007353, ISBN 9788123007359 〕 An almost identical list had been published six months earlier in England in a sermon at Westminster Abbey.〔()〕 Gandhi wrote that a correspondent whom he called a "fair friend" had sent the list: "The... fair friend wants readers of ''Young India'' to know, if they do not already, the following seven social sins,"〔 (the list was then provided). After the list, Gandhi wrote that "Naturally, the friend does not want the readers to know these things merely through the intellect but to know them through the heart so as to avoid them."〔 This was the entirety of Gandhi's commentary on the list when he first published it. In the decades since its first publication, the list has been widely cited and discussed. Some books have focused on the seven sins or been structured around them: * ISBN 0915132591, ISBN 9780915132584, ISBN 0915132583 (listed, discussed, and served as chapter structure for book) * In his 1989 book, ''Principle-Centered Leadership'', self-help writer, Stephen Covey talked about the sins in Chapter 7: SevenDeadly Sins (p. 87 to 93).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.mkgandhi.org/mgmnt.htm )〕 * ISBN 1434907945 (focuses on the list) Many books have discussed the sins more briefly: * (p. 122 states "Years ago, I was much encouraged when I discovered that Gandhi had a list of seven social sins that, if not resisted, could destroy both persons and countries. .... We live in a world in which these social sins flourish as much today as they did in Gandhi's time; surely the battle against them is still worth waging.") * (p. 155 mentions two of the social sins, stating "The recent economic collapse (now referred to as the Great Recession) reminds me of two social sins from Gandhi's famous list of seven deadly social sins. Gandhi warned about the dangers of wealth without work and commerce without morality....") *Thomas Weber (2011). "Gandhi's Moral Economics: the Sins of Wealth Without Work and Commerce Without Morality." In: (page 141 lists the sins and their date of publication, stating that "These and many of Gandhi's own writings make it quite clear that the Mahatma did not compartmentalize his life. For him, economics together with politics, morality and religion formed an indivisible whole.") *Rana P. B. Singh (2006). "Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi." In: (p. 107 listed the sins and gave a 2 or 3 sentence explanation of each, stating "these are ideals, but they are more relevant in the present era of desperation and could easily be accepted.") They have also been anthologized: *Anil Dutt Misra (2008), (''Insipiring Thoughts Of Mahatma Gandhi'' ) Concept Publishing Co.
