Confronting Islamic society and the world in the twenty-first century
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Charles Tripp (Reader in Politics with reference to the Middle East, University of London) applies logistical, journalistic, and scholarly principles of debate and accuracy in Islam and the Moral Economy: The Challenge of Capitalism, a seasoned exploration of how the principles of capitalism have greatly challenged and changed the Muslim world over the past sixty years. Chapters scrutinize economic development among Muslim societies and nations in depth, from Islamic socialism to social critics, and the development and efficiency of advanced economic institutions and banks. Of especial note is a final chapter about incidents of violence in reaction to capitalistic changes. Islam and the Moral Economy is an advanced economic treatise that squarely frames critical issues confronting Islamic society and the world in the twenty-first century - in particular, how to charter capitalism in the future so that acceptance is not read as subordination and active involvement can become part of self-definition.
