When You Get to the End of the Road It Is Time to Think Outside the Box

Thinking outside the box means thinking outside private law and outside the political and ethical philosophies that legitimate what Karl Polanyi called ‘market society’ (market society is a genus of which capitalism is a species).   It means acknowledging that traditional Muslims are not stupid, in the light of their life experience, when they prefer Sharia Law.  Sharia Law with all its faults is at least a possible way to organize human life including everybody (at least ‘all the faithful’) and respecting nature.
