Maqasid Foundations of Market Economics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on received sources of 'maqasid' (Shari'ah's practical objectives), this book demonstrates how the principles of market economics affect how markets and financial instititions actually operate under Shari'ah law. It shows where Islamic economics converges with and differs from conventional economics through the banning of usury and other Shari'ah-prohibited trade practices. Students can check their progress with learning outcomes, chapter previews, chapter summaries and revision questions.
