He Predicted Every Financial Crisis in 1100 CE | The Islamic Economics You Were Never Taught

विवरण

They told you economics started with Adam Smith in 1776. They left out a lot. Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali — an 11th century Muslim scholar writing in Persia — described hoarding, currency manipulation, speculation, and institutional corruption with a precision that maps almost perfectly onto the financial crises of the modern world. In this episode, we break down Al-Ghazali's economic framework and what it means for Muslim entrepreneurs building today: Why hoarded money actively harms society How speculation destroys the trust that markets run on Why currency manipulation is a form of theft against the poor And what all of this means for how we build businesses This is our intellectual heritage. And it's more practical than anything taught in a classroom.
