Hossein Askari Book order

The exploration of justice spans various cultures and historical periods, starting from Zarathustra to Islamic interpretations. The text delves into the views of justice in Ancient Egypt, India, Mesopotamia, and key biblical figures, highlighting the shift in focus during the Axial Age to regions like India, China, and Greece. It further examines the emergence of a systematic approach to justice in Islam, based on Qur'anic principles, and reflects on the deterioration of societal structures post-Prophet. This work is essential for those interested in justice, Islamic studies, and political Islam.

The book explores the Islamic perspective on justice, contrasting it with conventional views and tracing its evolution from Enlightenment thinkers to contemporary philosophers. It highlights the disconnect between ritual observance and adherence to Qur'anic principles among Muslims, drawing insights from 20th-century Muslim intellectuals. Empirical surveys of justice in Muslim countries reveal significant economic, social, and political challenges. The authors conclude with an assessment of the current state of justice and identify critical areas needing reform for true justice to be realized.

The book explores an economic system rooted in the principles of the Holy Qur'an, emphasizing the importance of adhering to divine rules and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. The authors argue that the economic struggles of Muslim countries stem from a lack of understanding and compliance with these guidelines. They propose that by interpreting the Qur'an's Metaframework and the Prophet's Archetype Model in a contemporary context, Muslims can establish an ideal economic system that aligns with current conditions.

Focusing on the economics of warfare, the book argues that the low price of aggression leads governments to engage in conflicts rather than avoid them. By analyzing recent conflicts in the Persian Gulf, it explores various costs associated with war and presents a private sector solution aimed at addressing the issue of warfare's affordability.

Explaining how the price of aggression is low enough that governments do not avoid conflicts, this book uses examples drawn from recent conflicts in the Persian Gulf to examine many dimensions of costs incurred by warfare and proposes a private sector solution to warfare's low cost.
