Lecture 4 discusses how living in a market society - created by a capitalist economic system -- conditions our minds and hearts, to think, act, and feel in certain ways. This conditioning is necessary to the creation of a market economy. Seeing these chains which wrap our minds is an essential first step to being able to remove them. Thinking outside of capitalist mindsets is essential to creating an Islamic Economy.
