|    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
