Because of the coherence of the system,criticisms that can be made against most economic concepts using thesame idea cannot be applied at this time.We must revise the terms of the founding fathers of economic theoriesin the history of economic thought, Ibn Khaldun is claimed to be apioneer for many European scholars, mostly sociologists, historians andphilosophers.
