(1332-1395 C.E.)
Abd al-Rahman Ibn Mohammad is generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor. His parents, originally Yemenite Arabs, had settled in Spain, but after the fall of Seville, had migrated to Tunisia. He was born in Tunisia in 1332 C.E., where he received his early education and where, still in his teens, he entered the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq. His thirst for advanced knowledge and a better academic setting soon made him leave this service and migrate to Fez. This was followed by a long period of unrest marked by contemporary political rivalries affecting his career. This turbulent period also included a three year refuge in a small village Qalat Ibn Salama in Algeria, which provided him with the opportunity to write Muqaddimah , the first volume of his world history that won him an immortal place among historians, sociologists and philosophers. The uncertainty of his career still continued, with Egypt becoming his final abode where he spent his last 24 years. Here he lived a life of fame and respect, marked by his appointment as the Chief Malakite Judge and lecturing at the Al-Azhar University, but envy caused his removal from his high judicial office as many as five times.

Generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor, was born in Tunis in 732 A.H. (1332 C.E.) to an upper class family that had migrated from Seville in Muslim Spain. His ancestors were Yemenite Arabs who settled in Spain in the very beginning of Muslim rule in the eighth century, but after the fall of Seville, had migrated to Tunisia. Ibn Khaldun studied the various branches of Arabic learning with great success. In 1352 he obtained employment under the Marinid sultan Abu ban (Fans I) at Fez . In the beginning of 1356, his integrity having been suspected, he was thrown into prison until the death of Abu man in 1358, when the vizier al-Hasan ibn Omar set him at liberty and reinstated him in his rank and offices. He here continued to render great service to Abu Salem (Ibrahim III), Abu man's successor, but, having offended the prime minister, he obtained permission to emigrate to Spain .

Abd al-Rahman Ibn Mohammad, generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor, was born in Tunis in 732 A.H. (1332 C.E.) to an upper class family that had migrated from Seville in Muslim Spain. His ancestors were Yemenite Arabs who settled in Spain in the very beginning of Muslim rule in the eighth century. During his formative years, Ibn Khaldun experienced his family's active participation in the intellectual life of the city, and to a lesser degree, its political life. He was used to frequent visits to his family by the political and intellectual leaders of western Islamic states (i.e., North Africa and Spain), many of whom took refuge there. Ibn Khaldun was educated at Tunis and Fez, and studied the Qur'an, Prophet Muhammad's Traditions and other branches of Islamic studies such as Dialectical theology, shari'a (Islamic Law of Jurisprudence, according to the Maliki School). He also studied Arabic literature, philosophy, mathematics and astronomy. While still in his teens, he entered the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq. Ibn Khaldun had to move from one court to another, sometimes at his own will, but often forced to do so by plotting rivals or despotic rulers. He learnt much from his encounters with rulers, ambassadors, politicians and scholars from North Africa, Muslim Spain, Egypt and other parts of the Muslim world.

Some Quotes from Works by Ibn Khaldun
" In the early stages of the state, taxes are light in their incidence, but fetch in a large revenue...As time passes and kings succeed each other, they lose their tribal habits in favor of more civilized ones. Their needs and exigencies grow...owing to the luxury in which they have been brought up. Hence they impose fresh taxes on their subjects...[and] sharply raise the rate of old taxes to increase their yield...But the effects on business of this rise in taxation make themselves felt. For business men are soon discouraged by the comparison of their profits with the burden of their taxes...Consequently production falls off, and with it the yield of taxation. "

http://www.geocities.com/ecovistainternational/articles2001/ibn_khaldun.htm
IBN KHALDUN : THE FATHER OF ECONOMICS Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Khaldun (744-820Hijrah) 1332-1406 A.D Ibn Khaldun was in the era when the Western world was experiencing the renaissance. This was also the beginning of the decay of Islamic civilization. There were crusades and invasions from East. Besides, disputes of Caliphs were common. Among all this background, Ibn Khaldun represents the climax of history of Islamic economic thought. Ibn Khaldun wrote his voluminous book on history of the world, titled; Kitab al Ibr wa-diwan al-mubtada wa-l-khabar fi ayyam-il 'arab wa al ajam wa al barbar wa man 'asarahum min dhawis sultan al-akbar. This book was translated in French in 15th C, and later in German and English. The Western world although recognizes Khaldun as the father of Sociology but hesitates in recognizing him as a great economist who laid its very foundations. It was Khaldun who for the first time wrote about the logic of history. Marxists greatly admire him. Ibn Khaldun was a descendant of a well to do Andulusian (Spanish) family. His family left Spain before its fall to Christians. He was born in Tunisia, where he was well brought up and given the best education, both religious and modern. He completed his education at the age of 19. By the age of 20, he was working as a civil servant. Later he went to Morocco. Khaldun showed a great interest in politics, and also became a minister thrice. He was sometimes imprisoned or detained for his views, and even threatened to be executed. During his notable stay in the desert he wrote comprehensively on history of nations, religions, fiqh, origin of sciences etc. Later, during his stay in Egypt he was appointed Qadi (Judge), by the Sultan of Egypt. Here too his engagement in politics cost him the enmity of the Sultan.
