Abstract

Views of more than 35 scholars who commented on a working paper on teaching microeconomics in Islamic perspective are briefly reported. Some scholars think that multiplicity of goals provides a better basis for analysing the behaviour of economic agents but others see nothing wrong with accepting the maximisation hypothesis as an analytical device. While some found conventional analytical tools suitable others thought nothing short of a radical departure from neoclassical economics and starting from basic Islamic propositions will be appropriate. However, the actual practice in universities teaching Islamic economics was reported to be a mixture of the two approaches. A seminar which discussed the working paper agreed on the need of further discussions covering macroeconomics and other important areas. يلخص هذا الحوار آراء أكثر من 35 اقتصادياً حول ورقة عمل عن تدريس الاقتصاد الجزئي من منظور إسلامي. ويرى بعضهم أن افتراض تعدد الأهداف لدى الوحدات الاقتصادية هو أفضل أداة تحليلية لدراسة السلوك الاقتصادي. كما يرى آخرون أن أدوات التحليل التقليدية ملائمة، ويرى سواهم أنه لا يقبل إلا الابتعاد جذرياً عن التحليل الاقتصادي التقليدي ( النيوكلاسيكي) والبدء من افتراضات أساسية إسلامية. ويبدو أن التجربة العملية في الجامعات التي تدرس الاقتصاد الإسلامي هي مزيج من هذين الموقفين. وقد عقدت ندوة لمناقشة ورقة العمل المذكورة، وأوصت، ضمن أمور أخرى، بمتابعة الحوار ليتناول الاقتصاد الكلي وسواه من المجلات المهمة.
