Los Angeles, CA: Masjid Ibaadillah, 1992. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [4], 35, [1] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Stamp on back cover. The author states that "This Commentary is intentionally not focused on either religion or politics. It has been written as a matter of conscious and from a need to provide insight into a basic problem that is affecting our entire society. It is also meant for people of all races, creeds and colors." In 1985, led by Imam Saadiq Saafir, a group of families began meeting in a basement to practice their faith. In 1986, Masjid Ibaadillah was officially founded when those families purchased a storefront on W. Jefferson Blvd. Years later as the community grew an adjacent building was purchased. Today that storefront mosque still acts as a beacon of light amidst the drug infestation and prostitution that plague the area. Between 1986 and 2004 Masjid Ibaadillah provided Islamic studies classes, established programs that fed the homeless, held interfaith events, prison outreach programs, entrepreneurial groups and more. In addition, the ILM foundation was founded by Imam Saadiq in 1998 with meager resources. It has grown into a global organization hosting Humanitarian Day events in cities across the country and internationally as well. In 2007, Imam Saadiq’s son, Jihad Saafir, became the Imam. More

New York, N.Y. Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1947. Second Edition (Revised edition), Presumed first printing thus. Hardcover. xiv, 411, [5] pages. Includes Preface to the Second Edition; Preface; Prologue, and Index. Chapters include The Marxian Doctrine; Can Capitalism Survive?; Can Socialism Work? Socialism and Democracy; and A Historical Sketch of Socialist Parties. This revised/second edition contains new material appraising the social changes wrought by the war. Joseph Alois Schumpeter (February 8, 1883 – January 8, 1950)[3] was an Austrian political economist. He was born in Moravia, and briefly served as Finance Minister of German-Austria in 1919. In 1932, he emigrated to the United States to become a professor at Harvard University, where he remained until the end of his career, and in 1939 obtained American citizenship. Schumpeter was one of the most influential economists of the early 20th century, and popularized the term "creative destruction", that was coined by Werner Sombart. The source of Schumpeter's dynamic, change-oriented, and innovation-based economics was the Historical school of economics. Schumpeter's work on the role of innovation and entrepreneurship can be seen as a continuation of ideas originated by the Historical School. Schumpeter's most popular book is probably Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy. While Marx predicted that capitalism would be overthrown by a violent proletarian revolution, which actually occurred in the least capitalist countries, Schumpeter believed that capitalism would weaken by itself and collapse. Specifically, the success of capitalism would lead to corporatism and to values hostile to capitalism, especially among intellectuals. More
