Everyone complaining
about decreased earnings... the rich respected for
their money... (Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul Barzanji,
Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 146)
Stagnation in the
markets, a reduction in earnings… (Muhammad ibn 'Abd
al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah,
p. 148)
Business being slack.
Everyone will complain, “I cannot sell, buy or earn
money.” (Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah
li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 152)
Economic distress is one of the most important problems
of many countries today. People fail to earn their living,
and in some cases, they even can not find any buyer to sell
their goods. In some countries where the governments have
to fight against poverty and inequality of distribution
of income, this situation shakes the social order and becomes
a major source of chaos. Conflicts in Argentina arising
from economic collapse is one of the examples of this situation.
