There is a need for introducing Islamic ideas and values in the teaching of Economics. Behavioral assumptions of conventional economics do not all apply to behaviour required of Muslims by their religion. Assuming average level of compliance with Islamic injunctions, some care for others is germane to religious attitude. This has important implications for Microeconomics. In Macroeconomics, guidelines are provided for teachers analyzing the impact on the economy of Islamic behaviour in consumption and production and of Islamic policies. Public expenditure in an Islamic economy, an Islamic evaluation of contemporary taxes and significance of zakal are dis-cussed in the context of teaching Public Finance. International economic relations and issues in development economics are discussed in the Third World perspective within the framework of Islam. The issue of free trade versus protection, issues relating to financing development and potential of Islamic modes of finance are examined. Teachers are advised to provide a critique of interest based banking, and to present Islamic banking as an alternative likely to ensure greater stability, efficiency and fairness. The book is addressed to teachers and provides a list of books on Islamic economics as well as on conventional economics for their benefit. (IX) ISBN 9960060705
