once you start from the initial premise that markets are primarily about cooperation rather than competition—and while Muslim economic thinkers did recognize and accept the need for market competition, they never saw competition as its essence87—the moral implications are very different.
It seems while the prescribed tools for market intervention are similar in Western and Islamic law, Western law views markets more as the common good being achieved through the actions of purely rational utility-maximizing indivuals interacting, while Islamic law views markets as the natural extension of principles of mutual aid.
