Adam Smith and Islam: Reconsidering the Moral Foundations of Economics

This study brings Adam Smith's foundational economic ideas into conversation with Islamic thought, asking how far the moral underpinnings of modern economics align with Islamic principles of justice, trade, and value.

Waseem Naser traces themes such as self-interest, fairness, and the ethics of exchange across both traditions, offering readers a thoughtful comparative lens on where classical economics and Islamic teaching converge and where they diverge. A useful read for students of economics, Islamic finance, and anyone interested in the moral questions underlying commerce.
