Description: The author makes the claim that neither capitalism nor communism is capable of offering real comfort and happiness. He details the flaws and disadvantages of capitalism and materialism, and discusses the disagreements among certain philosophical notions and the dialectical method upon which modern materialism rests. This famous work by the late Iraqi scholar Allama Baqir as-Sadr, who was executed by the Iraqi regime in 1980, addresses issues related to the universe and to life from the point of view of Islam.
