ABSTRACT
The economic, religious, and philosophical views of the twelfth-century Jewish thinker Moses Maimonides are thoroughly intertwined. Indeed, since his economic views issue from his religious and his philosophical views, one could scarcely understand the former without understanding the latter. Furthermore, since Maimonides interprets his religious views in light of his philosophical views, it is ultimately his philosophical views that render his economic views fully intelligible. So, at any rate, I shall argue, by reference to both his position on the accumulation of wealth and his position on our duties toward the poor.
