A Muslim's Reflections on Democratic Capitalism - Paperback

by Muhammad Abdul-Rauf (Author)

A thought-provoking, cross-cultural exploration of Islamic economics and democratic capitalism, where eminent scholar Muhammad Abdul-Rauf draws on the Koran and Al-Hadith to illuminate Islam's teachings on fair distribution, individual liberty, moderation, and the vital difference between economic freedom and greed, offering an essential bridge between Islamic theology and Michael Novak's landmark Spirit of Democratic Capitalism for readers seeking a deeper understanding of religion's role in economic life.

In this brief volume, an eminent Islamic scholar tries to demonstrate to Westerners how his faith influences the everyday life of its practitioners.
