Abstract

A friend of mine recently remarked that money has no religion. I suggested at the time that maybe that was the whole problem with the stock market and banking in recent years. The religious neutrality of the market-not to say its irreligiousness and proneness to abandon any ethical norms, religious or secular-may lie at the foundation of much that has gone wrong in the whole area of money and the market in the last few years. The market has often been both an ethical and religious concern in the past, in the widest sense of ethical and religious concerns. Four historical varieties of that ethical and religious concern in the eastern Mediterranean might give us pause before asserting that money has no religion.
