Hoffman Estates, IL – April 26, 2010 – Xlibris, the world’s leading print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, announced today the release of FALL OF CAPITALISM: and Rise of Islam, a new book of economics authored by Mohammad Malkawi.
FALL OF CAPITALISM: and Rise of Islam is a comprehensive guide that provides a critical analysis of the current financial crisis in the US and the world at large. It concludes that the current crisis could very well be a sign of failure of the underlying system of capitalism. It shows that the system of capitalism contains serious faults and defects at the core theory level. Through its pages, readers will learn that economic and financial crisis periodically occur whenever these defects are triggered by various conditions and political decisions during the life of capitalism.
It also takes a close look at the collapse of financial institutions, the crash of the housing market, the evaporation of trillions of dollars, the creation of virtual unreal wealth, and the decline of productivity—symptoms of the potential failure of the ideology of capitalism. This failure has serious impact on the life quality of billions of people around the world who suffer from poverty, hunger, health insecurity, lack of education, and serious inhuman conditions. This book boldly predicts a potential crash and collapse of the world order under the pressure of a failing capitalism. The book further presents a comprehensive view of the Islamic political economy and the potential rise of Islam as a viable universal ideology.

Fall of Capitalism and Rise of Islam
The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam presents Islam as an ideology which comprises economic, political, and social system as well as a system of values and ethics, all coupled with a spiritual filling of the human soul. The book depicts two ongoing trends in the global arena. On one side, the ideologies of nationalism, socialism and capitalism have either failed or still fading away. On the other side, the grounds for the rebirth of an Islamic State governed by the ideology of Islam continues to strengthen
The financial crisis is not a new phenomenon in the world of Capitalism. The US and Europe have gone through several recessions and depressions for the last hundred years. Unlike all crisis and turmoil of the past, this time around, the financial crisis raised serious concern about the plight of Capitalism, the backbone infrastructure of the current financial and economic system. The current crisis has spurred numerous studies addressing the plight and future of Capitalism. This is a major deviation from previous crisis, where the emphasis has been on recovery, risk analysis, and damage assessment.
When stock and commodity markets hit rock bottom in 2008, capitalism was viewed as seriously sick. As astonishing as history could be, the Islamic Ottoman State was viewed as the sick man of the world in the late 19th century; then, Capitalism was emerging as the healthy splendid one. Today and after a long century of success, Capitalism is becoming the sick man of the world; Islam, though, is emerging as the healthy and splendid one.
Scores of politicians, thinkers, religious leaders, economists continue to assert that moral crisis and lack of fundamental ethics and virtues can lead to serious failures in the financial and economic arena. Greed can indeed bring down a powerful system like Capitalism. The role played by morals in the production of wealth and of its distribution will be discussed in this book.
There is no doubt that the Islamic financial system is more moral and stable than the current one based on Capitalism. However, I should warn that the Islamic financial system will not be able to provide the full expected results from an Islamic system, unless the environment in which it operates is cooperative and homogenous from the Islamic perspective. What the current financial crisis has shown is that Islam has a different way of organizing the financial matters of a society. It has also shown that it has the potential of building a more stable financial system. Such a stable system can only be fully functional when the other systems in the society which has a direct impact on the financial system are in line with the financial system.
This book argues that the Rise of Islam is a comprehensive rise which brings up the economic system together with the political system, and the moral system together with the legal system. This will be discussed in greater details in this book.
