FOREWORD Bibliographies are essential tools of scientific disciplines. Having earlier produced a bibliography covering the whole field of Islamic Economics, this Centre is now issuing specialised ones. After the two bibliographies on Economic System of Islam and Public Finance in Islam, we are glad to present a third one on History of Economic Thought in Islam. The author, Dr. Abdul Azeem Islahi, has been closely associated with this Centre, making a number of contributions including Economic Thought of Ibn al Qayyim, published by the Centre in 1404/1984. In the work being presented now he has collected quite a number of references. The subject, history of economic thought in Islam, has yet to receive the attention it deserves. I hope this book will promote further research in this area by drawing attention to the works available. We will appreciate readers’ cooperation in supplying more information on the subject and making suggestions relating to the bibliographies we are publishing. Dr. Mohamed A. Elgari Director 15 Rajab 1418 15 November 1997

PREFACE From early 1970s to early ‘80s a number of bibliographies appeared covering works done in the field of Islamic economics in English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish and German languages. Since then, due to fast development of the discipline many more books and research papers have appeared in the subject and need is felt to update these bibliographies. Because of increasing specialization, it is also felt that there should be separate bibliographies on different aspects of the subject. The present bibliography on “History of Economic Thought in Islam”, is one such effort. This bibliography does not include works by the past Islamic thinkers. It lists only works in the English language which deal with the economic ideas of Muslim scholars in the past upto the end of 19th century. We have not included the translation of the original works of Muslim thinkers except where the translator/editor sheds light in his/her introduction on economic ideas of the author. In total one hundred eighty papers/articles/books have been listed*. The present writer feels that the number of Islamic thinkers to be covered and works to be listed may be larger. Any suggestion or entry sent to improve the bibliography and remove its deficiencies will be appreciated. I owe a special obligation to Dr. Muhammad Nejatullah Siddiqi who has been a source of inspiration for me in compilation of this bibliography. I am thankful to Dr. Ghazi Obaid Madani, former Director of Centre for Research in Islamic Economics and now President, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, on whose initiative this work has been done. I am also grateful to Dr. Mohamed Ali Elgari, the present Director of the Centre, who took keen personal interest in bringing out this bibliography. Wa’l Hamdu li’llahi Awwalan wa Akhiran. A.A. Islahi Aligarh March 20, 1996 ________________ Editor’s Note: This is list has been classified in accordance with the scheme published in the Journal of Economic Literature, March 1991. In that scheme history of economic thought comes under category B. We begin with B 0 which is for general writings. Titled by the author: Development of Economic ideas and their History in Islam, this part has 27 items. This is followed by 96 items in B3, the category for individuals in JEL classification. The 50 individuals in this category have been distinguished from one another by a number preceded by a dot after B 3. Lastly we have “Some Important Economic Institutions in Islamic History” comprising 57 items spread over five sub categories under the category N (Economic History). Items within each category or sub category are arranged alphabetically and given serial numbers.
