Doctrine
The official ideological doctrine is the Third International Theory, described in Gaddafi's "Green Book" (1976–1979). Copies of the "Green Book" are always on sale in Libyan bookstores in many languages.
The book is a collection of quotes of the Libyan leader, divided into three parts and covering the following vital aspects of existence:
- Solving the problem of Democracy (People Power);
- Solving the problem of the economy (Socialism);
- The public aspect of the "Third International Theory."
