Analyzing Some Ebn-e-Khadoonʹs Economic Views and Comparing them with Modern Institution Views

Ebn-e- Khaldoon is one of the most important theoreticians of Islam who has studied many different aspects of human life. He is known as the founder of sociology because he has analyzed the society and the Islamic government. But his studies on economy and political economy are not enough debated. He believes that economic laws are stable just like other laws of society and they should be recognized and used for the society. Ebn-e- Khaldoonʹs view about different social institutions (such as economic institutions) make the reader interested. Ebn-e-Khaldoon believed that people had a primary civilization when Islam appeared. They experienced urbanism civilization in the next period. Vast trade and social associations were the two principles of this civilization. Islamic governors were busy in luxury and wealth until the decline of the urbanism civilization by Moguls. Ebn-e-Khaldoon has studied and criticized the political, economic and social principles of the Islamic society. His ideas resemble institutional economists so we can compare their viewpoints and find some possible resemblances. This would make it possible to investigate the universality of economic laws and the possibility of using them for our society.
