Economic Problems The Baha'i teachings insist in the strongest terms on the need for reform in the economic relations of rich and poor.

'Abdu'l-Baha says:-- The arrangements of the circumstances of the people must be such that poverty shall disappear, that everyone, as far as possible, according to his rank and position, shall share in comfort and well-being.

This condition of affairs is wrong, and must be remedied.
