Abstract

The title of the paper deals with an important issue: Is moral Islamic economics an answer to the global financial crisis? When we look at the literature, we do not have too much to say to answer this question. It is first very rare to have a negative answer. Muslim economists would not answer this question in the negative and those who think that way will not publish their views. Positive answers can be found but once again they are often partisan answers based on the a priori belief that Islam is the solution for everything( ). If Islam is a solution, then logically Islamic finance is the solution for the financial crisis; charity is the solution for poverty, Islamic ethics concerning the environment is an answer to the climatic change and so on. Such a partisan point of view is hardly acceptable for the non-Muslim world. --
