Islamic Economy: An Alternative to Development in the Face of the Global Crisis?

Abstract

The “Islamic Economy” is presented as an alternative model for development model in the face of the global crisis. It is a proposal from the Islamic World made from integration into the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) that tries to provide viable forms of economic progress without neglecting the cultural, social and individual aspect from an indigenous perspective that breaks with the schemes of the classical or “western” economy that has implemented an expansive capitalist production system that has had variations over time until leading to a global crisis, making it necessary to review  differentiated ways of dealing with it. There is a theoretical-normative approach and an implementation that has had results and has been presented as an option.
