The Islamic way to capitalism

The challenging complexity of culture-based dynamics in the global economic scenario calls for deep investigations of the most important economic paradigms. In this setting, the moral economy of Islam proposes new strategies of growth, fostering integration between Islamic values and the economy. This project aims at studying the Islamic way to capitalism. Islamic economics is a remarkable example of dialogue between cultures and civilisations. It is rooted in Islamic tradition, but is also open to the challenges of the contemporary global economy. The moral economy of Islam has played a significant role in integrating Muslim countries in the process of globalisation and in renovating and enriching the capitalist system from within, thanks to its emphasis on ethics and social responsibility. The analysis of the Islamic way of capitalism is particularly noteworthy nowadays, given the resilience of Islamic finance to the financial crisis.
