For the Well-Being of All: Eliminating the Extremes of Wealth and Poverty

"This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahâa'âi Faith-the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The selections gathered here, taken from Bahâa'âi scripture and other Bahâa'âi sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Achieving such a vision requires individual and collective transformation, based on learning over time and through experience how to put spiritual principles into practice. This work offers a collection of passages setting out such principles and related guidance, along with a brief description of how the worldwide Bahâa'âi community is currently engaged in learning to advance economic justice at the grassroots level"--
