Badi Shams

Badi is a mystic at heart. He holds degrees in economics and has published two books, “Economics of the Future” and recently “Economics of the Future Begins Today“. He is retired from working in the education system and lives on Vancouver Island, Canada.

Being a gardener and proud owner of fruit trees, an avid traveller and a lover of the mystical writings of Rumi, Kahlil Gibran and Hafiz, these passions have animated his written work. His next book, “Mystic Economist“, is nearing completion and should be available soon.
