Al-Ghazali: The Thinker Who Linked Money to Morality
A thousand years before modern economics, Al-Ghazali warned that societies collapse not from scarcity, but from corruption. He saw hoarded wealth as “dead money,” understood speculation as moral failure, and argued that trust — not metal — is what gives money its power. His analysis of integrity, inequality, and financial decay reads less like medieval philosophy and more like a diagnosis of the world today.
If you think our economic problems are new, Al-Ghazali makes that timeline look very short.
