dalton garis
Dalton Garis – Flushing, USA
I’m a retired economist researching the economics of the divine Qur’an for its potential as a new model of the promised divine economy. Have worked as a petroleum price analyst and Qur’anic economics specialist, publishing peer reviewed papers in both categories, and presenting at associated conferences. Have published one book on divine economics, and am working on another targeting Sunni Muslims. I am Currently giving talks and deepenings on the divine Qur’an, its prophesies and rich teachings devolving to us as latest inheritors of God’s Cause and purpose for humanity.
Have also lectured on human capital formation and development, which was also the topic of my 1996 doctoral dissertation at the University of Florida.
I am interested in Social Innovations, Sustainable Development, Human Resources, Organizational Behaviour, Social Economic Development, Ethical Finance, Business Ethics and Fair Trade.
One of my burning issues is what the divine Qur’an can teach us about economics, as alluded to by His Holiness Baha’u’llah. Remuneration for worker analysis – why the neo-classical model is wrong, and why greater share remuneration for workers is good economics.I am inspired to share the wealth of divine and practical knowledge we inherit from the divine Qur’an.
Also interested in sharing some of the economic and technical details of human capital development and formation – why and how the poor get poorer and the rich get richer over succeeding generations, and how proper educational intervention can entirely break up this self-sustaining cycle. Also interested in exploring and analyzing justifications and methods of better worker remuneration.
