| The word "magazine" isn't just what you think it is. it’s a history lesson. It comes from the Arabic word *makhzan*, |
| meaning "storehouse" or "depot."                                                                                     |
|                                                                                                                      |
| As trade grew between the Islamic world and europe, this word traveled to Italy (*magazzino*) and eventually into    |
| English.                                                                                                             |
|                                                                                                                      |
| The building blocks of European capitalism: inventory, logistics, and record-keeping are direct Islamic influances.  |
|                                                                                                                      |
| From this perspective, the Austrian school of economics is an attempt to preserve these original, organic market     |
| principles. The Austrian view fights to protect the free, decentralized nature of ancient markets against the        |
| "statist" approach of Keynesian economics, which are a subversion of true markets. By rejecting top-down government  |
| control, the Austrian tradition seeks to defend the spontaneous order that were a central part of islamic market     |
| traditions and philosophy. Wa Allahu A'lam                                                                           |
|                                                                                                                      |
