i was listening to last friday's planet money podcast in which they discussed the origins of modern shia economic theory. it all centered on mohammad baqir al-sadr's book iqtisaduna. i was intrigued, so i bought it on a whim.
i highly doubt that i can get through a dense text on economic theory with my level of arabic. this whim-enabling iphone is a dangerous thing. luckily, they never mentioned sadr's other book. it seems like that would be even more up my alley, and even harder for me to understand in arabic.
