MBA - Muslim Business Alternative

Book proposing an Islamic alternative to modern capitalism

Other · Cape Town, Western Cape

MBA – Muslim Business Alternative by Ihsaan Adams is a first-time authored book that suggests an alternative economic system to present-day capitalism. The business model on offer is based on the teachings of the Islamic faith, yet it does not call for humanity to alter their religious beliefs. Instead, it builds its argument around the common understanding of morality that is deep-rooted in most mainstream religions but which has only been successfully implemented by the Muslims of yesteryear.

The book takes a candid look at the modern business world, reflecting on the problems humanity faces today, and examines the tools used by western capitalists to perpetuate their ideologies. It argues that capitalism was founded by the Muslims of the 12th to 15th centuries in a society free from the problems of modern-day capitalism, and that restoring the original system offers a cure for its chronic problems.

The book explores how the sincere efforts of ordinary people can free society from the clutches of the elite through a systematic revolution of consumer activism.
