By the statement "the economic solution is divine in
nature" is meant that religion alone can, in the last resort, bring in
man's nature such a fundamental change as to enable him to adjust the economic
relationships of society. It is only in this way that man can control the
economic forces that threaten to disrupt the foundations of his existence, and
thus assert his mastery over the forces of nature.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 26
December 1935 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer;
The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, Economics, Agriculture, and Related
Subjects)
