The first volume to explore Muslim piety as a form of economy, this
book examines specific forms of production, trade, regulation,
consumption, entrepreneurship and science that condition - and are
themselves conditioned by - Islamic values, logics and politics.
With a focus on Southeast Asia as a site of significant and diverse
integration of Islam and the economy - as well as the
incompatibilities that can occur between the two - it reveals the
production of a Muslim piety as an economy in its own right.
Interdisciplinary in nature and based on in-depth empirical
studies, the book considers issues such as the Qur'anic prohibition
of corruption and anti-corruption reforms; the emergence of the
Islamic economy under colonialism; 'halal' or 'lawful' production,
trade, regulation and consumption; modesty in Islamic fashion
marketing communications; and financialisation, consumerism and
housing. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology,
anthropology and religious studies with interests in Islam and
Southeast Asia.
