Resource mobilization and investment in an Islamic economic framework: proceedings of the third International Islamic Economics Seminar, 1990

The book is a compilation of eleven distinct papers on various topics in Islamic economics, ranging from the conceptual to the technical. Amomong the authors are Monzer Kahf, Masudul Alam Choudhury, and Sattar himself. Taha Jabir al Alwani, in the book's foreword, discusses the importance of intellectual development. The editor's preface mentions the end of 'mono-economics'--the idea that a single economic system was suitable for all cultures and value systems. Reference is made to the December 1990 seminar on Islamic economics held at the Washington site of The Catholic University of America. He sees the book as an effort on the part of the contributing economists to the development of Islamic economics as a field. Sattar also includes brief descriptions of the separate works within the collection. Each individual contribution is described in this database as a distinct work.
