Abstract

The economies of the Arab countries are generally projected to have shown not much inclusive economic growth, especially since the second half of the twentieth century. Keeping in view the state of underdevelopment in their economies, several Arab countries had embarked on economic and financial reforms in collaboration with international financial institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank, in order to overcome their economic difficulties. This book review article sheds light on how the Arab Spring of 2011 resulted in income and wealth inequalities, weak investments, and growing unemployment in Tunisia. The book under review, Making the Tunisian Resurgence, by Mahmoud Sami Nabi, raises theoretical as well as practical debate on the possibility of applying Islamic modes of financing in the present-day Tunisian economy. While highlighting the economic ideas of Ibn Khaldun, the author presents a new alternative to the capitalistic economic model at the practical front and defends at a good length the application of equity finance, Islamic bonds, ?uk?k, crowdfunding, and trade finance, with special focus on the role of participatory banks (Islamic banks), zakah and waqf so as to access the potential of coupling cooperatives and microfinance in generating jobs for youth in the country. اقتصادات الدول العربية لم تظهر الكثير من النمو الاقتصادي الشامل في الغالب، وخاصة منذ النصف الثاني من القرن العشرين. ونظرا لحالة التخلف في اقتصاداتها، شرعت العديد من البلدان العربية في إصلاحات اقتصادية ومالية بالتعاون مع المؤسسات المالية الدولية، مثل صندوق النقد الدولي والبنك الدولي، للتغلب على الصعوبات الاقتصادية. مراجعة الكتاب هذه يلقي الضوء على الكيفية التي أسفر بها الربيع العربي لعام 2011م عن عدم المساواة في الدخل والثروة، وضعف الاستثمارات، وتزايد البطالة في تونس. يثير الكتاب تحت المراجعة "خلق النهضة التونسية"، الذي أعده محمود سامي نابي، جدلاً نظريًا وعمليًا حول إمكانية تطبيق أدوات التمويل الإسلامي في الاقتصاد التونسي الحالي. مع تسليط الضوء على الأفكار الاقتصادية لابن خلدون، يقدم المؤلف بديلاً جديدًا للنموذج الاقتصادي الرأسمالي على الجبهة العملية ويدافع بالتفصيل عن تطبيق تمويل الأسهم والسندات الإسلامية (الصكوك) والتمويل الجماعي والتمويل التجاري، مع التركيز بشكل خاص حول دور البنوك القائمة على المشاركة (البنوك الإسلامية) والزكاة والأوقاف وذلك للاستفادة من إمكانات اقتران المؤسسات التعاونية مع مؤسسات التمويل الأصغر في إيجاد وظائف للشباب في البلاد.
