Will be no millionaires possible and no extremely poor

"When the laws He has instituted are carried out, there will be no millionaires possible in the community and likewise no extremely poor."

(Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 217)

Greatest means for prevention of poverty is laws to prevent extremes

"Organize in an effort to help them and prevent increase of poverty. The greatest means for prevention is that whereby the laws of the community will be so framed and enacted that it will not be possible for a few to be millionaires and many destitute. One of Bahá'u'lláh's teachings is the adjustment of means of livelihood in human society. Under this adjustment there can be no extremes in human conditions as regards wealth and sustenance."

(Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 216)
