What Is Wrong with Islamic Economics?
ÔI read with great interest the current state of Islamic economics and finance as examined by Muhammad Akram Khan, who has given a fresh outlook for the readers to find out its limitations and to search for its solutions. Khan has read widely in the subject matter, and presented his views with reference to literature and thoughtful and logical arguments. While many may not agree with his arguments or will have a better explanation, I find his arguments at least worthy of examination to strengthen the arguments of those who might oppose him. Although Khan is critical of the subject matter, he is very sympathetic to the greater objectives of Islamic economics and provides his own prescription...
An Introduction to Islamic Economics
The contemporary economic systems have failed to solve the economic problems of mankind. The failure. of socialism is too o.bvious to need any documentation. The track record of capitalism is far from being promising. Although a small minority has achieved unprecedentlY high material standards of living, a vast majority lives under conditions of abject PovertY. The problems of unemployment, inflation, poverty amidst affluence, unequal distribution of wealth, frequent bouts of business recession, environmental pollution and ecological imbalance still bedevil man's present life and threaten his future. The present book contends that the Islamic economic order has the potential of ushering in an age of human bliss; and the resources to build a free, just and responsible world for everyone on the earth.
Muhammad Akram Khan, Islamic Economics - Annotated Sources in English and Urdu
Muhammad Akram Khan had published a first Annotated Bibliography of Contemporary Economic Thought in Islam in 1973 (Lahore: All Pakistan Education Congress). It listed 153 Urdu and English titles. Mr. Khan's present bibliography contains approximately 750 titles of which about 630 are annotated while the rest are listed in a supplement. The annotated part covers literature up to early 1982, and the supplement lists additional titles up to early 1983. Of the total 750 entries, about 250 are in Urdu, the rest in English. The bibliography also has an author and a subject index, but it does not cover titles in the supplement. Roughly 30 percent of the English entries were, at the time of the compilation of the bibliography, unpublished typescripts, seminar papers, etc. Now (early 1984), a considerable number of these papers has been published in Journals and books.

The 'Ancient Supremacy'
This work is a chronological account of the struggle between the Afghan Amirs of Kabul and the Manghit Dynasty of Bukhara for Balkh province (wilayat) during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Drawing extensively on India Office Records, Persian and native oral sources, the book provides a unique insight into an important, but little-studied Central Asian region. Structured around the history of Maimana's Mingid dynasty, the book details the various military campaigns, whilst also examining critically Britain and Russia's role in the 'Afghanisation' of Balkh during the period of the 'Great Game'. The work is especially significant to historians since it questions conventional perceptions of Central Asia during the era of European imperialism. It examines too Balkh's social and economic situation. It includes numerous maps, charts, photographs and dynastic charts.
