Dear Pat,  
   
The discipline of economics as we know it today is the result of the  
eurocentric habits of thought that failed to reconcile science and  
religion (not just ethics). Religion is not really all about "blind  
faith" and ironically economics is becoming increasingly about faith and  
ideology. Economics can't be value-free no matter how hard we try to  
make it so. The failure of the West to reconcile science and religion  
does not mean that other cultures should give it up. Mr. NourAhmadi's  
project is a worthy one, and it should be encouraged.   
  
Sincerely,
