The origin and evolution of Islamic economic thought (Ph.D. Dissertation)
The author attempts to resolve the controversy of the content and meaning of Islamic economics. The primary objective is to define ''Islamic economic system'' as it is explained in Islamic economic thought. The second goal of the writer is to examine the extent to which early Islamic economic thought and its ideological concepts compare to the medieval economic thought of the West. A Schupeterian approach is used to identify the term ''Islamic economy.'' The author believes that this is a neglected area of economic thought.
