Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'In this finely observed and trenchant study, Charles Tripp presents a unique examination of the assumptions behind Muslim views of economics and explores, with particular mastery, the logic behind contemporary criticisms of capitalism. He is persuasive that, amidst the ambivalent transformations of modern Muslim thought, economics emerges as a functional as well as moral endeavour, and meticulously documents the various ways in which Muslims have appropriated, or resisted, dominant views on society, economics, and politics. There could thus be no surer or more informed guide than this to the scholarly and public debates over the centrality of development, social need, and justice to the evolving 'common sense' of Muslim societies.' James Piscatori Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies and Wadham College, Oxford

'Charles Tripp has written an admirable, deeply documented survey of Muslim thinkers responding over the past century or two not only to the challenge of capitalism but also more generally to that of Western imperialism and globalisation, terms often used synonymous.' Journal of Global History
