'Abdu'l-Bahá has developed in various of His talks, which
you will find in different compilations, the principles upon which the Bahá'í
economic system would be based. A system that prevents, among others, the
gradual control of wealth in the hands of a few and the resulting state of both
extremes, wealth and poverty.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 28 October 1927 written on
behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. III, Economics, Agriculture, and Related Subjects)
