Economy, Poverty and the Consumer Market: Islam's Proposition for Solutions

Everywhere that capitalism hasn't taken hold, people remain impoverished. Everywhere that capitalism has been rejected, poverty has increased. Unemployment and poverty are the two major challenges that are facing the world economy at present. How does this translate to the consumer market and faith?

Imam Afroz Ali, recipient of the International Ambassador for Peace Award, explores these challenges and Islam's proposition for solutions with Meera Sivasothy.
