In a world were capitalism has made its way through 123
of 197 countries, it’s hard to consider, coming from a nation that follows its ideals, that any other way of economy and organization could even take place. When we think about capitalism, we think about big and developed countries, innovation and in most scenarios, efficient production. However, if we look at our history and some of the world’s current problems, it starts to seem not as clean and smooth as people hope it would be. Capitalism is an economy based on free markets where resources are privately owned. It has proved to be a good way of market in many ways, such as providing efficient production methods and also of always searching to improve and innovate. On the other hand, with growth of companies and monopoly, the power tends to get out of control in addition of the external cost it produces, giving a loss of natural resources. The law of demand rules capitalism. As it increases, price rises, just as well as the profit and production. Taking into consideration the constant competition that owners of supply go through we can say that the path of success is not easy, without mentioning the fact that those who don’t have the skills of competition are usually left behind creating a limit of diversity and a lack of equal opportunity. Governments should be ruled by unity, equilibrium, free will and responsibility, components that Islamic economic provides. Looking out for equality, we can say that the best way of creating it is by following principles and also by having empathy towards others. Throughout years, Islamic economic has been left under the shadow of the modern world because of its beliefs. Therefore, it has lost its impact. Muslims believe in sharing wealth and in always taking care of those in need, reflecting what God to them has given, justice and kindness. In fact, every single person, for them, has a basic standard of living that can’t be abused, always knowing that others needs matter. On the other hand, by giving free will, it allows them to shape their destiny, from good or bad, always considering the responsibility that being a human means to them. All in all, world’s problems reduce to the constant competition it daily goes through, specifically creating selfishness and lack of kindness. Islamic governments give us an alternative that only requires for us to believe, help others, being generous and less ambitious. Furthermore, it also gives equality, vanishing out problems capitalism has given.
