Written by John Huddleston, translated by Hooriwash Rahmani, most of the essays are taken from Mr. Huddleston's book called Standing up for Humanity plus some additional never before printed essays. Eqtesad-i-Yek Jahani-Motahed challenges your intellect, explores your vision and stimulates your very perspective on life. It is the far-reaching range and depth of the Baha'i concept of a global society that the author draws upon while presenting his keen insights into the problems of today's world. One hopes that it might one day form a part of our standard academic curriculum so that it can enlighten and empower our present and future generations of society.
