- Açıklama: Of the many great economic losses experienced worldwide over the last hundred years, almost all have had their origins in the United States. The current global crisis is no exception and how long this crisis will last is anybodyʹs guess. In the zero-sum game of capitalism, someoneʹs gain is someone else s loss. Greed in a zero-sum game means to legally put your hands on someone else s wealth. Greed has always been with mankind. Another basic principle of capitalism is self-interest, which is in harmony with the philosophy of individualism. However, Muslims -- and, indeed, many non-Muslims -- have learned that love, empathy, altruism, cooperation, sacrifice, mutual concern, forgiveness, gratitude, virtue, benevolence and honesty are as much a part of human heritage as hatred, self-interest, apathy, revenge, vice, dishonesty or fraud. Throughout history, there has always been conflict between "good" and "bad" behavior, and the people who embody these characteristics are either admired or denounced. At this point, the crucial question we should be examining is the role capitalism has played in this regard. Given that greed is within human nature, we might ask: Can Islamic economics provide a solution to check greed? As this book will show, the answer is "Yes," and the solution can be found in cooperation among individuals. Mankindʹs wellbeing has to be based on global responsibility and cooperation. It should provide benefit to all cooperating nations. If no action is taken to address the manifold deficiencies of the existing global zero-sum game, the universal gap between south and north will simply widen. -- Book jacket.
