Capitalism in moral perspective – an Islamic alternative

<p>This thesis investigates the economic and moral viability of the capitalist economic system, in order to compare it with the Islamic economic system in terms of justice and fairness. Earlier Marxist/Socialist critique of Capitalism focused on issues within Capitalism such as greed, corruption, cheating, bribery, pirating, abuse, and other market problems e.g. practices and regulations which lead to poverty, hunger, economic crises, collapse, inflation, stagnation and steep price increases. Instead of sloganeering from a distance, contemporary research on the problems of the world economy is replete with frank criticism &ldquo / from the inside&rdquo / , i.e. by capitalist economists themselves. In this study, written from a Muslim perspective, the problem within the capitalist system will be assessed in conversation with critique from &ldquo / outside&rdquo / and &ldquo / inside&rdquo / capitalist discourse.</p>
