Necmettin Kizilkaya; Toseef Azid

Opis

Drawing upon received sources of maqasid of Shariah, the authors present an independent academic work which emphasizes the common conceptual grounds of labor market behavior shared by the maqasid of Shariah approach as well as the conventional approach to economics. It also adopts standard textbook tools to explain industrial relations. 

Recenzje

"The dearth of works on labour theory from an Islamic economics perspective is surely filled by the publication of this book. The book is indeed an excellent initial step in the field of Islamic economics...The editors deserve appreciation for producing this specialised volume." - The Muslim World Book Review
