The problem I have with Gandhiji's speech is in the definition of moral. Here, I must agree with the Austrian School's general philosophy. We violate another when there is not informed consent. Gandhiji operates with the assumptions of Christianity, that there is a causal relationship between increasing wealth and immoral conduct. Again, what is immoral?

Will Morality Produce a Low Need for a Standing Army?
In one of Gandhiji's speeches, "Economic Development and Moral Development," he goes into the "Sermon on the Mount" and proposes that moral conduct in our homes will produce a lowering of a need for standing armies. So the proposition is that Muslims will not want to kill me for American policy, if I do not commit adultery, along with some list of what is "moral."
