How do modern Muslims adapt their traditions to engage with today's
world? Charles Tripp's erudite and incisive book considers one of
the most significant challenges faced by Muslims over the last
sixty years: the challenge of capitalism. By reference to the works
of noted Muslim scholars, the author shows how, faced by this
challenge, these intellectuals devised a range of strategies which
have enabled Muslims to remain true to their faith, whilst engaging
effectively with a world not of their own making. The work is
framed around the development of their ideas on Islamic socialism,
economics and the rationale for Islamic banking. While some Muslims
have resorted to confrontation or insularity to cope with the
challenges of modernity, most have aspired to innovation and
ingenuity in the search for compromise and interaction with global
capitalism in the twenty-first century.
