The Islamic World-System by Masudul Alam Choudhury
This highly original book presents an alternative vision of globalization and explores the epistemology, derived from the Qur'an and the Prophetic guidance Sunnah, that underpins the systemic unity at the heart of the Islamic concept of world-system. Choudhury's investigation reveals the ethical foundations that influence the development of law, markets and social contract in Islamic societies. He then applies his methodology to issues and problems such as property rights, money, political economy, technology diffusion, microenterprise development and asset evaluation.Masudul Alam Choudhury is Professor of Economics at the Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, and the University College of Cape Breton, Canada.
