Abstract: This article is a brief introduction to Ibn Khaldūn and his contribution to economy. It sets its focus on the subject poverty and tries to highlight some thoughts about this subject, leading us from Ibn Khaldūns work to the modern insights of the book “Why nations fail”. What are the reasons for poverty and income inequality? What are we actually talking about? And which lessons can we take out of this?
