Abstract
This book is a great effort to illuminate Al-Ghazali’s economic thought and formulate it into economic concepts within the modern economic framework. Despite Al-Ghazali devoting his writings to social justice and ethical economic behavior, scholarship has generally ignored his economic contribution compared to the attention given to his contributions in theology, philosophy and mysticism. This may be because of his outstanding influence in those fields surpasses his economic ideas. Therefore, this book assists in exposing Al-Ghazali as an economic thinker and adds this capability to the list of his intellectual mastery. The book also disproves the assertion made by a number of Western academics, including Schumpeter (1997), that classical Islamic scholarship did not contribute significantly to the development of economic philosophy during the Middle Ages.
