Description: "This book offers a critical analysis of the Islamic economic system, as defined by the traditional ulama and embellished by some Islamic economists.

It's a pioneering effort to present a comprehensive view of the issues involved, from riba to the status of women in Islam.

The discussion is in the framework of the question concerning the identify of the country: Was Pakistan to be an Islamic state or a Muslim state?"--Jacket.
