This is a survey of Muslim economic thinking in the last two decades of the 20th century in Arabic, Urdu and English.
Contemporary Islamic economic thought has its roots in the Islamic revivalism of the twentieth century. Since the time of Prophet Muhammad, Muslims had a vibrant and dynamic civilization, where the economic life did go on both at the individual and collective level. While economics as a specialized field of social science that systematically studies and explores the economic dimensions of life is a modern phenomenon, economic thought as part of broader Islamic legacy continued throughout history. Contemporary Islamic thought has significantly benefited from modern economics, and a new field, Islamic economics, within Islamic legacy is shaping up.This chapter in an edited book provides a survey of contemporary Islamic economic thought, especially in the context of the development of the field of Islamic finance.
This book takes a hermeneutic approach toward reading the writings of Jamal al-Banna and Tariq al-Bishri across several decades in order to explore contemporary Islamic political thought under authoritarianism. Ebtisam Aly Hussein uses the framework of 'meta-languages', in relation to the writings of these two particular Islamic intellectuals, to examine how authority over the public sphere is established, in both religious and political terms. Chapters outline the major themes of Islamic political thought in the writings of al-Banna and al-Bishri - mainly the state in Islam, Shari'a application, political violence as jihad, and identity politics - and how in their writings they have interacted with a variety of autocratic practices under Nasir, Sadat and Mubarak. The book puts forward a unique study of the role of politics and religion in establishing authority over the public sphere, and how this authority is manifested in the intellectual output of these two Islamic intellectuals.

The Mediterranean Tradition in Economic Thought surveys the legacy of thinking on economic affairs from the countries in the Mediterraean basin over four millenia. It considers the economic content of the scriptures of the Mesopotamian civilisations, Pharaonic Egypt and the Biblical peoples and the contributions of the Greeks and Romans, and their influence on Islamic civilisation and on the Medieval scholastics. The flowering of the school of Salamanca as recently as the seventeenth century demonstrates how long-lived the tradition was, and throughout Baeck demonstrates how these ideas continue to survive and resurface, citing the renewed interest in the ethical dimension of economics, the revival of interest in the history of Islamic thought, and the re-emergence of Slavophile doctrines in contemporary Russian.
