Economics of the Future Begins Today

Economics of the Future Begins Today looks at the history of the present economic system and its destructive effect through the perspective of the Baha’i Writings on economics. Topics include divine economy, the station of man, material and spiritual civilization, and many more relevant topics.

For the Well-Being of All This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Baha’i Faith—the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, referring to the wealth inequality that exists between and within nations, writes: “However much such conditions are the outcome of history, they do not have to define the future. . . .” The selections gathered here, taken from Baha’i scripture and other Baha’i sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Such a vision calls for transformation—on both an individual and collective level—based on the study and practical application of spiritual principles. Drawing on texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century up to the present day, For the Well-Being of All not only presents such principles as they pertain to a wide range of themes, but includes guidance and reflection concerning their application in the modern world.

Economics, Agriculture and Related Subjects This compilation draws from the writings of Baha'u'llah, Abdu'l-Baha, Shoghi Effendi, and the Universal House of Justice to exlpore the issues relating to agriculture, economic readjustment, commerce, and other related issues.

For the Betterment of the World (New 2023 edition) This publication, prepared by the Baha’i International Development Organization at the Baha’i World Centre, provides an illustration of how Baha’i social and economic development is being carried out.
