Capitalism challenge

This comprehensive and insightful study of Charles Tripp addresses one of the most important challenges faced by Muslims over the last sixty years, which is the challenge of capitalism. The author, through references to the works of prominent modern Muslim thinkers, demonstrates how these thinkers succeeded in formulating a number of strategies that enabled Muslims to maintain their faith while successfully engaging in a world shaped not by their own hands. This book frames the development process of these thinkers' ideas regarding "Islamic socialism," the field of "Islamic economics," and the reasons behind the emergence of Islamic banks. While others resorted to raising the weapon of confrontation or found in the option of isolation a way to deal with the challenges imposed by modernity, most of these thinkers diligently sought innovation and creativity in search of middle grounds; driven by a desire to interact with global capitalism in the twenty-first century.
