Abstract
Within the wider framework of monetary theory, this study focuses on a review of classical Islamic perspectives on monetary theory. In 1792 in America, the official price of gold was USD 19.3939/oz, whilst in 2021 the average market price of gold is about USD 1,800/oz, thus one dollar in 1792 is now only worth 1 cent in 2021 (19.3939/1,800). Most of this devaluation occurred since 1971, which represents a catastrophic collapse in the store of value function of money over the past fifty years, confirming a failure in contemporary monetary theory and policy in achieving monetary and price stability under the fiat standard.
