يبدأ البحث بإيضاح عناصر الاقتصاد الوضعي التي تمثل مرجعية معرفية للممارسات الاقتصادية، مع التركيز على المنهج والمفاهيم، وينتقل إلى بيان عجز الاقتصاد الوضعي عن تحقيق العدالة والكفاءة. ثم يتناول عدداً من المفاهيم الأساسية ليوضح طبيعة البيئة التي تشكل فيها المفهوم، والشكل الذي تم إنتاجه فيها، ويختار لذلك مفهوم "العمل". ثم يختم بتحليل مسألة الاقتراض الثقافي للمفاهيم ودورها في التمييز بين جهود بناء الأصالة الحضارية أو الوقوع في التبعية الحضارية. ويؤكد البحث أن بناء نظرية اقتصادية إسلامية أمر ممكن لتوفر الإطار المرجعي للنظرية ومنظومة المفاهيم المشكلة لها وأدوات التحليل والتفسير العاملة فيها، ومن ثم يدعو المهتمين بشأن الاقتصادي الإسلامي: فكرأ وممارسة، إلى بذل الجهد اللازم لبناء هذه النظرية. This paper begins by clarifying elements of prevailing economic system characterized by positivist philosophy, with a focus on methodology and concepts.  It exposes the inability of this system to achieve justice and efficiency. The paper then addresses a number of basic concepts to explain the nature of the environment in which the concept has been formed choosing the concept of "work" for that purpose.  It concludes with citing the danger of cultural borrowing of concepts, and its role in creating cultural dependency and harboring efforts of building civilizational identity of the Muslim Ummah. The paper stresses that building an Islamic economic theory is possible, given that a the frame of reference for the theory and the system of concepts that forms it and its tools of analysis are all available, and calls on those concerned with Islamic economics to exert the necessary effort, in theory and practice, to build such theory.

This paper shows the diversity and significance of relations of duality among different economic systems. The composition of the principles underlying the system economic theory used for the analysis of duality in the economy is investigated. The concept of the economic system is clarified and the equivalence of three basic concepts of the economic system is shown: a) as a space-time volume (“black box”); b) as a complex of elements and connections among them; c) as a tetrad, including object, project, process and environment components. In a new way, the concept of the tetrad is revealed. The actual interpretation of the interrelationships of its components, based on the mechanisms of intersystem circulation of spatial and temporal resources and the transmission of abilities from one economic system to another, is proposed. On the basis of the obtained results, the most essential aspects of duality in the theory of economic systems are considered. It is shown that the interaction of internal content and the nearest external environment of economic systems lies in the nature of the relations of duality. A new approach to modeling the structure and to functioning of the economic system, based on the description of its activities in the form of two interconnected tetrads (the first tetrad reflects the intrasystem production cycle and the second one — the external realization-reproduction cycle) is put forward. It is shown that the concept of duality in a system economy creates prerequisites for adapting the functioning of local economic systems (objects, projects, etc.) in a market, administrative and functional environments and, as a result, harmonizing the economy as a whole.

Content Type

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to refer to ecological economics using two meanings of the term “ecological”. In the strict scientific sense, ecological economics refers to an economic system that is consistent with and honors the basic principles of ecology, which, ultimately, are identical with what the authors call the systemic principles of life. In a broader sense ecological economics refers to economic theory and practice that see the economy as operating within, rather than dominating, the spheres of nature, society, and culture. Design/methodology/approach The authors distill four fundamental principles for ecological economics based on systems theory of life and philosophy of organism. The four principles are; nested systems, self-generating networks, open systems, and cognitive interactions. The authors discuss how these principles can be applied to design an ecological economic system that is life-enhancing on individual, social and ecological levels. Findings The authors argue that ecological economics should give priority to activities that maximize well-being of human and non-human beings, as well as entire ecosystems, and that its central purpose should be to serve the life processes in social and ecological systems. Originality/value In this paper, the authors connect ecological economics to systems theory and come up with principles relevant for developing economic theory and practice within, rather than dominating, the spheres of nature, society, and culture.

<p>Issues that are fundamentally appointed by Mannan in his book entitled: "Islamic Economic Theory and Practice" in the Islamic economic system in the theory or production concept is the principle of wealth. The concept of economic welfare in Islam consists of an increase in revenues that caused by increasing of production of good material through using resources maximally, both human and objects. Thus, the improvement of production system in Islam not only mean increased revenues that can only be measured in terms of money, but also improvements in the fulfillment of our needs maximally with minimal effort, but still consider the commandments of Islam in consumption.</p><p>When talking about the concept of ownership, Mannan had been taken ownership based on the Quran and As-Sunnah. In this case, Islam was different from capitalism and communism, because none of them was successful in placing individuals in a mosaic of social harmony. Private property is the foundation of capitalism. In other hand reducing of private property is its abolition is a target of socialist doctrine.</p>

I. INTRODUCTION -THE MAJOR CRITICS OFISLAMIC ECONOMICS: This paper attempts to respond to the critics who, on various grounds, oppose the development of Islamic economics. The author feels that a scientific response to these critics is the responsibility of the Islamic economists. It is believed that such a response would be educational for the critics and their followers. It would enable them not only to understand the scientific nature of Islamic economics but would also allow them to appreciate that the development of the Shari'ah paradigm ofislamic economics is, in fact, the beginningofascientific revolution in economics. Given the bases of their arguments, these critics of Islamic economics can be classified into the following three schools of thought. 1) The Adjusted Capitalism School: According to this school the fundamental principles of the Islamic economic system are the same as those of capitalism. In support of this assertion they point out that like capitalism, Islam also allows the right to private property, free enterprise, and market economy. They, however, acknowledge that certain adjustments need to be made in capitalism to bring it in conformity with Islamic principles. They hold that these adjustments should be made according to Islam's distinction between Haram and Halal, and Islam's teachings in financial and fiscal areas; namely, riba and zakat. According to this school, if these areas of capitalism are adjusted according to Islamic requirements, then the adjusted form of capitalism will be nothing but the Islamic economic system. Thus this school holds that the conventional economic theory, with only a few adjustments, is fully capable of generating the Islamic economic system. Hence, they see no scientific justification for the development of Islamic economics toward the creation and establish­ment of an Islamic economic system ...

The author claims that J. Kornai in his paper Innovation and Dynamism (Voprosy Ekonomiki. 2012. No 4) ignored the understanding of socialism as a specific type of culture and not just as an economic system. He also shows profound differences between Schumpeters theory and mainstream economic models. Evolutionary theory, he claims, may itself become mainstream if Schumpeters legacy is not interpreted straightforwardly and if evolutionary economists consider not only micro-, but also macro-level of analysis in studying macrogenerations of capital of a different age.

The article examines social conditions and mechanisms of the emergence in 1982 of a «Dutch» strawberry auction in Fontaines-en-Sologne, France. Empirical study of this case shows that perfect market does not arise per se due to an «invisible hand». It is a social construction, which could only be put into effect by a hard struggle between stakeholders and large investments of different forms of capital. Ordinary practices of the market dont differ from the predictions of economic theory, which is explained by the fact that economic theory served as a frame of reference for the designers of the auction. Technological and spatial organization as well as principal rules of trade was elaborated in line with economic views of perfect market resulting in the correspondence between theory and reality.

The term “economy” comes from Greek word “oikonomia” consisting of “oikos” which means household and “nomos” which means regulation. The word “oikonomia” can be defined as the applicable regulation to fulfill the needs in a household. Islamic economics aims to build the economic independence of society collectively, meanwhile conventional economics is still individualistic. In the amidst of globalization, the efforts of sharia economist in covering coventional economic flow are already good enough. System that is already ingrained in society cannot easily be changed. The good strategic plan is required in instilling Islamic economic system in the middle of society. Thomas Kuhn says: ”every system has paradigm and the core of Islamic economic paradigm is definitely from Qur’an and Sunnah”.

And Behavior

In order for humans could reach the so-called falah (goodness), human behavior needs to be colored with the spirit and norms of Islamic economics reflected in its values. The principles and values of Islamic economics are considerably two inseparable things. The implementation of economic principles without being colored with values or values without being based on principles could keep people far away from their purpose, namely falah. The implementation of values not based on principles will tend to bring with it the normative economics, which would cause it trapped into injustice. While the implementation of values on the Islamic economic development is based on the five universal values, namely akidah (belief), 'adl (justice), nubuwwah (prophetic), khilafah (the government), and ma'ad (results). The five principles are used as the basis for building theories of Islamic economics. But strong and adequate theories not applied into a system will make the Islamic economics just as the study of science without giving positive impact on the economic life. Therefore, based on the five universal values, the three derivative principles should be built into the characteristics and the forerunner of the Islamic economic system. The Islamic economic system makes sure that there are no economic transactions that are contrary to the Shari'a. But business performance depends on the man behind the gun. For that reason, the economic actors within this framework could be held by non-Muslims. The Islamic economics could only be developed if the mindset and behavior of Muslims are already itqan (diligent) and ihsan (professional). It "may be" one of the secrets of the Prophet's statement, saying "Truly I was sent to perfect good character". Because good character could be an indicator of knowing good or bad behavior in determining both the success and the failure of business itself.

The implementation ofthe capitalist system has eliminated the Islamic values in economic practice. After the financial crisis hit the world, the capitalist system reaped many questions and its greatnessbegins to be doubted. The capitalist system implementationprecisely creates new problems in the economy. The concept of individualism which is the main key in capitalist practice only creates economic injustice and misery of the poor. The only economic theory that is expected as a light in dealing with economic problems is an economic system that is able to create justice,the welfare of all parties and blessings both the world and the hereafter. The theory is the Islamic economics which in practice is inseparable from Islamiceconomic law. Islamic economic law that underlies the Islamic economic system is totally different from the capitalist economic system.Keywords: Islamic Economic Law; Islamic economics; Capitalist Economy
