Ibrahim Al-Buleihi's profound work, 'Handicapped Civilization,' offers a searing critique of societies that, despite possessing immense potential and abundant resources, remain stagnant due to misguided wisdom and weak governance. The book meticulously dissects the paradox of nations rich in capabilities yet poor in effective utilization, arguing that true progress is hindered not by a lack of means but by intellectual and administrative infirmity. Al-Buleihi challenges readers to confront this 'disability,' urging a radical re-evaluation of societal priorities and the adoption of robust, forward-thinking strategies to unlock dormant strengths and achieve genuine advancement. It is an urgent call for intellectual awakening and responsible stewardship.
