	ISLAM AND SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS
	Author	AYATULLAH BAQIR AL SADR
	Publisher	ISLAMIC SEMINARY PUBLICATIONS
	ISBN #	0-941724-19-0
	Description	In this conflicting world of power groupings, torn apart and divided between the two camps of capitalism and socialism, in which both the sides are menacingly armed to teeth with nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, the present day man is in a fix, groaning under the heavy weight of materialism and atheism. The learned author discusses at length on capitalism as a school of economics but he elaborates with all its relevant aspects and features such as the so called four freedoms, materiatic tendency of this system and its evil effects. He brings home the fact that behind the outwardly attractive face of capitalism, there is really an ugly countenance of monopolization, exploitation and an attempt to keep the weeker nations under the hegemony of big powers and to introduce a sort of neo-colonialism. As against this, the author also deals with socialism or communism as a school of economics and fully evaluates its merits and demerits. Contrary to the prominence of the individual in capitalism, in socialism prominence is given to the state in between the huge dragonish jaws of which the individual is crushed. The mood and the temperament of the penmanship of the author isi not only balanced, moderate and sublime, but is also convincing, sweet and serene. The most striking and exquisite feature of the book is that the author instead of being apologetic, timid or shaky before the so called western thought and erudition is highly confident, composed and convinced in putting forth his thoughts. He has so successfully exploded the myth of the superiority of western philosophy and thinking that for an unbiased mind the middle course of Islam as a school of economics, becomes crystal clear.
