Abstract

Fukuyama described the triumph of neoliberalism over rival ideologies, as the end-point of mankind ideological evolution and the universalization of western liberal democracy as the final form of human civilization. Muslims believes that Islam already provided the best and everlasting ideology for the welfare of humanity. The logic of Islam is based on the intervention, whilst neoliberalist believe in non-intervention. Using the methodology of library research, this study investigated whether neoliberalism or Islam better serves the greatest interest of the greatest numbers by taking the case of alcoholic drinks. Ground realities exhibits that neoliberalism is attributable to the greatest harm to the greatest number while in the dogma of Islam there is an all-time greatest benefit to the greatest number.
