Dear Mr. Nourahmadi,  
  
The outline of your research looks excellent, and   
I say this because it is very similar to the   
outline I used for my book, The Vocation of   
Business: The Theory and Practice of Social   
Justice, which will be published next year by T&T   
Clark. If you contact me offline, I will be happy   
to send you an annotated table of contents, and   
if any of the chapters seem useful to you, I will be glad to send them as well.  
  
By the way, there is a great deal of overlap   
between Islamic social thought and Christian   
social justice, because they both stem from the   
same source, Aristotle's view of justice filtered   
either through Qur'an or Christian scripture.   
Until about the 18th century, economics was   
considered a colony of moral philosophy;   
theologians and philosophers routinely commented   
on economic matters. Purely individualistic views   
of economics only began to take root in the 15th   
century and the individualistic view of triumphed   
in the 19th century. In my course on Social   
Justice for Business Majors, I teach a section on   
Islamic social thought, since that is necessary   
knowledge for any business student in today's economy.
