A Review of "Islam and the Path of Human and Economic development"

Abstract
For all the advances that economic systems and their development models have made, there are still shortcomings and failures in the seemingly developed societies that require new thinking and a more holistic approach on the place and status of human being. It seems that the Islamic economic system has the potential to create an evolved society in which human beings have found their true dignity. The book of Islam and the path of human and economic development has been written in this regard to tie economic development to the excellence of the human soul and at the same time considers the four main components of development, namely security, rationality, government and market. In this book, religion is defined as the way of life and obedience to a set of rules of conduct, and therefore nationalism, liberalism, and communism are all considered religion. The authors reject one of the most important principles of Western economics, i.e. the principle of scarcity, and offer a different interpretation of development in Islam.
