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. John Medaille
