1. FOUNDATION A. PHILOSOPHICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATION OF ISLAMIC ECONOMICS:

1. Tawhid (God’s unity and sovereignty): every individual is equal in the sight of Allah; provides for freedom of action whereby each individual is viewed as an integral part of the whole; continuous and sustained system through “risalah (God’s prophets as the source of divine guidance); akhirah (life-after death, that is the continuity of life beyond death and a system of accountability based on divine law) (Ahmad, 2003: 193).

2. Al-‘adl wa’l-ihsan (Equilibrium and Beneficence-Socio-Economic Justice): Individuals are expected to establish justice (’adl) and promote beneficence (ihsan), which, consequently “denote a state of social equilibrium” (Naqvi, 1994: 267); “giving everyone their due”, together with tawhid it “results in attaining high levels of good life (hayat al-tayyebah), both individual and collective” (Ahmad, 2004: 193); equitable distribution of income and wealth within the growth and stability oriented policies.

3. Ikhtiyar (Free-will): “both unrestricted and voluntary” (Naqvi, 1994: 29); it is guided by broad guidelines in order “to interpret-reinterpret that freedom within specific societal contexts, and to suit the needs of changing times” (Naqvi, 1994: 31; emphasis is original).

4. Fard (Responsibility): being vicegerent of Allah on earth; having responsibility towards God, to his/herself and the others in the society, as an integral part of the totality of mankind” (Naqvi, 1994, 33).

A. PHILOSOPHICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATION OF ISLAMIC ECONOMICS:

5. Tazkiyah; “concerned with growth towards perfection through purification of attitudes and relationships”, growing in harmony in every aspect of life; falah, prosperity in this world and the hereafter” (Ahmad, 1994: 20).

6. Khilafah and human accountability before God: Allah (swt) created human beings with the role of being God’s vicegerent on earth; universal solidarity, sustainable consumption of resources, which are trust from God, pursuing a humble life-style, and having human freedoms to conduct daily life; IE system is based on two dimensional utility function, both of which works in positive correlation with each other, i.e. the more social good one does in this world, the more sawab or glad tidings one will get in the hereafter.

7. Maqasid-al Shariah or the objectives of Shari’ah described by al-Ghazali (d. 505 AD); Islamic economic principles must lead to ‘human well-being’; Siddiqi (2004) includes broader measures ensuring welfare [as] asserted by Ibn e Qayyim … who emphasized justice and equity.

Each of these axioms constitutes the foundational principles of the Islamic economic system, which are entirely different than the axioms and foundational principles of any other system. “The universal ethical system, based on these axioms, is [therefore] believed to produce policies aimed at enhancing motivation to seek knowledge and work, enhance productivity, and enhance transparency in government. They should also enhance intra-and intergenerational equity” (Naqvi, 1994). Thus, they provide the rationale for the IE system (see: Naqvi, 1994; and Arif, 1989 among others).

B. METHODOLOGY OF ISLAMIC ECONOMICS:

1. Sociotropic individual, for whom not only individualism but social concern is a prerequisite;

2. Behavioral postulates: socially concerned God-conscious individuals who:

a. in seeking their interests concern with the social good;

b. conducting economic activity in a rational way in accordance with the Islamic constraints regarding individual and social environment and hereafter; and

c. in trying to maximize his/her utility seek to maximize social welfare as well by taking into account the hereafter as well.

3. Market exchange is the main feature of economic operation of the Islamic system; however, this system is filtered through an Islamic process to produce a socially concerned environmentally friendly system. In this process, socialist and welfare state oriented frameworks are avoided not to curb incentives in the economy.

C. MECHANISMS AND INSTRUMENTS OF ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM:

1. Positive measures, such as zakah (compulsory alms-giving) to respond to the needs of the poor. Instead of giving to individual poor for their immediate consumption, developing projects for the sustainability and survival of the poor is the new strategy with zakah funds. Hisba is another important positive measure or institution of Islamic economics system to regulate the market mechanism by responding its failures and shortcomings and overcoming its excesses.

2. Voluntary measures, such as sadaqha (charitable giving), aims at providing the immediate needs of individual. Waqf, or pious foundations, as part of the voluntary third sector aims to provide the goods and services which could not be provided or could not be sufficiently provided due to the failure of the market mechanism as well as government failure. For instance, in addition to awqaf aiming at providing health services, education, and food distribution etc., the use of funds accumulated in waqf in efficient manner is being developed through cash-waqf to enhance their contribution to the economic development of the societies.

3. Prohibitive measures, such as riba, which is pre-determined interest. It is prohibited as it is unlawful gain in terms of not being product of productive economic or financial activity. Islamic economics proposes profit and loss sharing and risk taking and sharing against pre-determined capital gains to motive the individuals to actively engage in the economy. The objective of the prohibition of riba is not only social justice but also economic and social optimality.

Ekonomi Islam terkait dengan aktifitas kolektif manusia dalam rangka menjamin berputarnya harta diantara manusia, sehingga manusia dapat memaksimalkan fungsi hidupnya sebagai hamba Allah untuk mengemban amanah dan mencapai falah di dunia dan akherat.

Ekonomi Islam pada dasarnya adalah ekonomi yang berbasiskan kegiatan produktif dan perniagaan di sektor riil. Tidak ada dikotomi sektor keuangan/moneter dan sektor riil.

Sektor keuangan/ moneter secara terbatas hanya merupakan sektor yang terkait dengan arus uang (modal) pada aktivitas investasi sektor riil, baik oleh swasta maupun pemerintah, sehingga sektor keuangan berfungsi sebagai pendukung sektor riil.

3. History of Money and Monetary System The most popular historical currencies were ‘gold coins’ of Roman empires, ‘gold Dinar coins’ (Denarius) of

Byzantine empires and ‘silver Dirham coins’ of Sassanian/Persian empires.

In the early period of Islam, currencies which were commonly used as money include gold Dinar coins (weighing 4.25 grams with 91.7% fineness of gold) and silver Dirham coins (weighing 2.975 grams).

In the time of Umayyad Caliph Marwan Ibn al-Hakam (684-685 M), he had a man’s hand cut off for cutting up a Dirham or silver currency.

In the 11th century, English used silver pennies as its currency where one pound of silver was minted into 240 silver pennies. By 1666, one pound of silver was minted into more than 700 pennies at the Royal Mint.

In the time of Sultan Al-Dzahir Burquq (Utsmaniah Empire 781 H), the use of alloyed silver minted by Sultan al-Dzahir Baibras was cancelled and replaced with copper Fulus. Later in 14th century, hyper inflation in Egypt occurred due to overly minted Fulus (copper or bronze) currency by the government.

Following its foundation in 1694, the Bank of England (BoE) issued ‘paper receipts/money’ backed by 100 percent gold or silver and fully convertible upon demand. Later on, BoE issued paper money or bank notes on certain reserve ratio, so that paper money supply far exceeded the underlying gold or silver. Consequently, the first two crises of the century in 1825 and 1837 in England were due to over issue of bank notes.

In 1839 M Utsmaniah Empire, paper money “al-Qa’imah” was issued and lasted for 23 years. In 1862 M, the circulation of al-Qa’imah was suspended due to too much al-Qa’imah in circulation (El-Diwany, 2002).

World gold standard regime was finally demised in 1915, and subsequently was followed by crises and depressions, started with depression in Japan (1920), hyper inflation in Germany (1922-1923), and finally manifested into the great depression in 1929-1930 (Davies and Davies, 1996). Subsequently, financial crisis have hit Austria (banking crisis in 1931), France (hyper inflation in 1944-1946), Hungary (hyper inflation and monetary crisis in 1944-1946), German (hyper inflation in 1945-1946), and Nigeria (banking crisis in 45-55).

11

In April 1933, gold coins were demonetized by the US Government, and were no longer permitted as legal tender. In exchange for the gold coins and bullion, the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a private bank, offered paper currency (i.e., US dollars) with an assigned numerical value of $20 for every one ounce of gold. Most Americans rushed to exchange their gold for paper currency, but those who were aware of the rip off that was about to take place bought gold with their paper currency and then shipped the gold away to Swiss banks (Hosein, 2007).

The British government also demonetized gold coins in the same year as the US in 1933. They did so through the simple expedient of suspending the redeemability of the sterling paper pound into gold (Hosein, 2007).

The US Government has arbitrarily devalued the US paper dollar by 41% and to then rescind the law of prohibition concerning gold that was previously enacted. The American people rushed back to exchange their paper currency for gold at the new exchange value of $35 per ounce of gold. In the process, they were robbed of 41% of their wealth (Hosein, 2007).

Less than two years earlier, in September 1931, the British pound was devalued by 30% and this gradually increased to 40% by 1934. France then followed with a devaluation of the French Franc by 30%, the Italian Lira was devalued by 41%, and the Swiss Franc by 30%. The same thing subsequently happened in most European countries. Only Greece went beyond the rest of Europe to devalue its currency by a whopping 59% (Hosein, 2007).

In the period under Bretton Woods Agreements in 1950-1972, strict fixed exchange rate international monetary arrangements was in place, where US Dollar as world currency was pegged to gold (one troy ounce of gold is equal to 35 US Dollar) while other currencies were pegged to US Dollar, with the guarantee that US Dollar was exchangeable to gold in any time.

3. History of Money and Monetary System

12

The Bretton Woods era has known as a golden age, where personal income increases, the volume of world trade increases, investment increases, and international economic stability maintained. David Felix stated that there is no long period of time, in the past or present which is comparable or closely resemble to the achievement (the high production, high productivity, low unemployment, and just distributive income) of Bretton Woods era.

The Bretton Woods agreements finally collapsed in 1971, when the US unilaterally terminated the convertibility of US Dollar to gold. The US enjoyed huge seigniorage profits from printing fiat currency without gold back up. Other countries finally followed the US to use fiat money and adopted floating ER.

The value of a currency is relatively stable when it is backed by gold. But, when a currency has no more back up from gold, its value depreciates quickly. A research conducted by Prof. Roy Festrem of Berkeley University concluded that in the span of 400 years up to 1976 the price and value of gold has been relatively stable, even has slightly been appreciated (Sanrego and Ali, 2008).

In 1800, the price of gold was equivalent to 19.39 US Dollar per troy ounce, while before the breakdown of Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971, the price of gold was equivalent to 35 US Dollar per troy ounce. But in 2004, the price of gold has jumped to 455.75 US Dollar per troy ounce, and at the end of 2008 it has jumped again to 769.40 US Dollar per troy ounce. Currently (April, 2011), the value of one troy ounce of gold has sky rocketed to reach $1500.

Following the collapse of Bretton Woods Agreements, financial crises have resurfaced more frequently started in England (banking crisis in 1973-74), industrial countries (deep recession in 1978-1980), developing countries (debt crises in 1980-1982), US and UK (great crash of stock exchange in 1987), Mexico (financial crisis in 1994), Asian countries, Russia, Brazil and Argentina (financial crisis and hyper inflation in 1997-1999), and finally the recent subprime mortgage crisis in the US that has spread out all over the world.


13

Inspired by the crises in England, David Hume (1711-1766 M) proposed a theory of ‘beneficial inflation’ with the hypothesis that increasing the money supply would raise production in the short run and may not raise the price at all in the long run. But, John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946 M) was the one who in 1936 (in his magnum opus, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money) successfully developed Hume’s idea into formalized model of what the Austrian school called ‘inflation economics’.

This inflationary economics with the use of fiat money (augmented with the use of interest system) and the prohibition of gold money has been fully enforced and internationalized by IMF. The Articles of Agreement of the IMF prohibited the use of gold as money. It did so by prohibiting any link between gold and paper currencies other than the US dollar.

Art. 4 Section 2(b) of the Articles of Agreement stated: “exchange arrangements may include (i) the maintenance by a member of a value for its currency in terms of the special drawing right or another denominator, other than gold, selected by the member, or (ii) cooperative arrangements by which members maintain the value of their currencies in relation to the value of the currency or currencies of other members, or (iii) other exchange arrangements of a member's choice.”

This Art.4 Section 2 (b) has been questioned by a member of US Congressman in April 2002, since he acknowledged that gold as currency is the most effective means of monetary stability. Rab (2006) also believes that gold as money or medium of exchange is the most stable and reliable measure of price.

Keynes’ ‘inflation economics’, although severely criticized by Austrian school, has been adopted by most today’s government all over the world (as member of IMF), which necessitates the establishment of central bank as monetary authority to control the money supply and inflation in the economy through the conduct of monetary policy and the understanding of monetary policy transmission mechanism (MPTM).

• “By this means (seigniorage) government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft“ (John Maynard Keynes)

• Inflation is a deliberate ideological and political choice of ‘economic regime’ adopted by the government to profit from seigniorage income.

Letter of US Congressman to Federal Reserve Bank and US Treasury Dept. (April, 2002)

Dear Sirs:

I am writing regarding Article 4, Section 2b of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s Articles of Agreement. As

you may be aware, this language prohibits countries who are members of the IMF from linking their currency to

gold. Thus, the IMF is forbidding countries suffering from an erratic monetary policy from adopting the most

effective means of stabilizing their currency. This policy could delay a country's recovery from an economic

crisis and retard economic growth, thus furthering economic and political instability.

I would greatly appreciate an explanation from both the Treasury and the Federal Reserve of the reasons the

United States has continued to acquiesce in this misguided policy. Please contact Mr. Norman Singleton, my

legislative director, if you require any further information regarding this request.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” (Woodrow Wilson, the president who signed in 1913 the Act creating the Federal Reserve)

Monetary management in Islam is to achieve money demand (for transactions and for cautionary needs) stability and to direct the money demand toward important productive activities needed by the society.

There is no parallel dichotomy between monetary and real sectors, since monetary sector always links and follows real sector.

M . V = P . Q V = (P . Q)/M Monetary policy in Islam is a response to the activities in the real sector and a policy that can

speed up the velocity of money in the real sector and that can discourage hoarding of money.

Ekonomi Islam kontemporer adalah ekonomi yang tetap berbasiskan kegiatan produktif dan perniagaan di sektor riil, namun memiliki pasar keuangan Islam yang mendukung pasar riil. LK Islam kontemporer berfungsi sebagai lembaga penghubung sektor keuangan dan sektor riil.

Ekonomi Islam kontemporer beroperasi dalam dunia ekonomi konvensional yang mengenal adanya pemisahaan (dikotomi) paralel antara sektor keuangan dan sektor riil, sehingga lembaga otoritas keuangan pada perkembangannya terbagi dua menjadi otoritas moneter dan otoritas fiskal.
