Fall of Capitalism & Rise of Islam Paperback – June 2, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
“The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam” provides a critical analysis of the current financial crisis in the US and the world at large. The collapse of financial institutions, the crash of the housing market, the evaporation of trillions of dollars, the creation of virtual unreal wealth, and the decline of productivity are symptoms of the potential failure of the ideology of capitalism. This failure has serious impact on the life quality of billions of people around the world.
This book predicts a potential crash and collapse of the world order under the pressure of a failing capitalism.The book makes an account of another global phenomenon, namely the second rise of Islam. The rise of Islam, similar to the fi rst one which lasted for thirteen hundred years, is a comprehensive rise which brings up the economic system together with the political system, and the moral system together with the legal system.
It is being sought to introduce to the world a system full of justice, fairness, and geared toward productivity and human righteousness.The rise of Islam is argued to be in the best interest of the human societies around the world, and that the propagated fear of this rise is unfounded.
The book provides a description of the economic system and the political economy of Islam. The Islamic political economy integrates several mechanisms for natural distribution of wealth, while it maintains a high level of productivity through the inhibition of usury, hoarding, and exploitation.“The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam” makes extensive references to a score of historians, scholars, and scientists who provide a fair testimony of the Islamic civilization and the ideology of Islam.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018I read the book in the same year it was published! it clarify the current status and where we are heading. it is a gaze into the current status and the future.
I gave my original copy as a gift to a friend and Here I am buying it again, as it is a must have deep, simple and thorough; easy to read and understand for people who have no background.
The Author does a great job in explaining hard to understand terms and concepts in clear and full comprehensive ways.
Do not miss on reading it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017Easy to read and understand, deep, and gives a new point of view.
The author explained the economic system of Islam very well in this book
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019Great book, touched on a lot of things that are absent from majority of popular Discussions. Worth reading! This book made me appreciate Islamic finance and religion as a whole for humanity
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2012At first I thought this book would be very hard to understand since I'm not that good in economic sciences, but the author makes it so simple that after you read it you sit down with economy professors and can discuss freely!
language is simple, and the content is amazing; a realistic comparison of Islamic financial system vs Capitalist system, and why the solution for the problems will not come except from the Islamic financial point of view.
a must read!!!

Essential reading if you are affected by seeing such poverty in the world, interested in economics and Islam in the modern era.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good critique of the failings of capitalism - so far so good, but needs editiing better
The title is intruiging in both its parts. The book is divided into three sections and obviously Malkawi grasps well the backgound economic causes to the recent catastrophic failing of western capitalism, starting with the Lehman brothers crisis in 2008. The book is written in 2010 but here we are three years later still dealing with the massive fall-out from that; so section 1 is worth reading alone for its brief history of how the seeds were sown in the early 70s leading to todays continuning problems with capitalism. So what for me is interesting is to read of 'a better idea' if its not socialism. Malkawi weaves into section 1 references to Islam but in a philosophical way rather than being preachy at all. So section 2, I am about to read which, as the title suggests, is propounding the rise of Islam, but in a 'good way' according to the author. Section 3, also which i have not got to yet, is promising to answer a lot of the criticism globally which Islam is coming in for - with good reasons, of course - and i expect a well argued debate as in section 1.
So I am enjoying the book; it provides so far a lot of answers, some to questions I had not thought of and, if you have an open mind, I would recommend it. That is the point of reading books anyway, in my view.
My main criticism is that it is not well edited - at least in the Kindle edition - as there is a quite a lot of repetition, both of certain passages verbatim from one part to another, and also saying the same point in different ways a bit too much, both of which are tedious to the reader. Needed a break after section 1, partially as a result of that, but still worth the effort.
