Islamic Economics DefinedBy Mark BurrImagine, you enter the Fun-

dimentals of Economics class and the professor proclaims thai the distinction between normative and positive economics is irrelevant; opnmality is determined by soci­ etal needs rather than the summa­ tion of individual demand- aid the free hand is that of God's.

Although you may think you're in Utah, most likely you will find yourself attending a course on Mamie economics.

Most of us have heard of what Western analysts refer to as Islamic Fundamentalism, which Is, at heart, the desire of a large num­ ber of Muslims to apply the pre­ cepts of Islam to their legal, eco­ nomic and social institutions. In nearly all Islamic countries there

exist, in an uneasy truce. Western and Islamic legal codes and banking sys­ tems side by side. A quick study of die region will reveal the resurgence of Islam in nearly every country in North Africa and SourJiwest Asia. not to mention the breakaway repub­ lics in me Caucasus and (formerly) Soviet Central Asia

The roots of Islam run deep, but in modem times they can be traced most directly to the failure of Western ideologies (read Liberal­ ism ard Marxism) ard Western insti­ tutions (read: World Bank. IMF. GATT) to (teal with the problems of distribution and development in the Middle East.

But what exactly is Islamic economics? To quote M. A. Man- nan, the Paul Samuelson of Islamic

economics, it is the study of "the problems of production, distribution and consumption...and their social and moral consequences m the light of Islamic rationalism." In layman's terms, the Qitim is revealed knowl­ edge a given and serves as the fundamental basis of Islamic eco­ nomic analysis. As such, Islamic mm is seen as an economic and moral maximizer, he is simulta­ neously individualistic, cooperative and socially responsible.

So what goods will be pro­ duced? In Islamic society this deci­ sion i s guided by effective need rather than Pareto optimality regardless ofprofitabiliry. Providingforthepoor and the needy customer who can not afford the market's price is built into the equation. The haw question is

determined by lirrHtedcornpetinori and conscious cooperation among firms. And the/or whom question is decided byacornbkation exchange $y$tem(to cwercwnetheprohibitionagamsfusiryj and one-way (welfare) transfers.

A final example, m which op­ portunity cost is given a moral dimen­ sion, shoukl suffice. In most Muslim countries there is zprayerbreak within normal business hours. Apersonwho is employed 40 hours a week should include a minimum of five hours of prawrfcrea£mraspaycheck.

Now this scenario begs a num­ ber of questions. What happens to religious minorities in such an economy? How much must the indi­ vidual give up to religious orgama- tioas and the state to xcomplish this0 Can it provide the mos! good for the greatest number? These questions and the Muslim's responses are beyond diescopeofihisarnde. Thekssonfcr us, however, ts that as international managers our fundamental beliefs are going to be challenged far more than most can imagine. Our first response must be to seek an understanding of our surroundings. Then we must de­ cide how best to succeed

Das Tor started as an underground newspaper in the early 196Qs and I was given "official" recognition 23 yearsago. It represents thedforKoffifiy- six editor* and their staffs to maintain an institution of the free press on das I campus. Das TOT attempts to provide a forum for discussion and debate of I whatever the students think is worthy. As such, we at Das Tor hope that you] will value this institution and wiU give it the support that it needs to function.

This will be my scowl term as Editor in Chief of DasTor, fourth wm as a Tbiid, and it is my goal to provide you with a lively, interesting, entertaining, and worthwhile newspaper. However, to accomplish this goal | we must have your help.

Das Tor has no staff reporters. We do not have someone we can send I out on a "beat" to cover given events or invesopte issues. We exist almost solely on freelance writers, cartoonists, humorists, and columnists. That means you. Triispanercanoniybeasgoodastriernateiialitieceivesandyou are die primary source of thai material. If you read about, see. or hear of I something that is of interest to you, write about it It you have a complaint or I eel you need a voice that is lewder than your own, talk to us about it. We are [ >ere to serve you and we take our jobs seriously.

At times this newspaper will print things that you may find objection-1 able, controversial, or shocking. It will print things that you may fed arc

ng. or rrdsstatements or misleading. All we ask is that in such cases, please jear in mind that we are trying our best to be impartial and present all sides of I anissue. Weanerr^tocon^^dydivofX£ourownopinions(ex olumn of mine) from what is presented in the paper. If you disagree with

something presented write a rebuttal. It is Das Tor's policy to make available I pace for rebuttals, regardless of what we on the staff may fed personally I owards either side of an issue.

We nope that throughout the term you wiD look ftrwad to Mondays I when you can read this newspaper and find out what is happening on campus. I and in the rest of the world If you want to become an active freelance writer, I jlease come to the meeting tonight at 6pm in the Das Tor offices. Wearel

I ways seeking good writers, cartoonists, humorists, and photographers. And I you are at all inclined to become active on this campus, maybe gain

jcperience for a future ASLC seat or just want to help your colleagues. Das | or is a good proving ground.
