Muslims in Indian Economy

The 130 million Muslims in India form the second largest Muslim population in the world. Scholarship on them has however focused on a limited range of issues. There is little by way of macro studies on the economic condition of Muslims in various parts of India. What is the condition of the Indian Muslims at the dawn of the twenty first century? What is the demographic profile of the community? What is the percentage of its population in agriculture, industry and the tertiary sector? How do Muslims fare at the national level? Does the Muslim economic condition differ from state to state, given the regional imbalances in the country resulting from unequal develop-ment? How does Muslim economic condition in the early twenty first century compare with the recent and distant past? To what extent can the political changes account for these varia-tions? How does the economic profile of the Muslims compare with the majority Hindus, Dalits, and minorities like Christians, Sikhs and Parsis? Historians, politicians, journalists and others agree that Muslims in general lag behind other communities. Does Islam, or Islam as interpreted and lived, have anything to do with it? What is the role of the State in this matter? What is the record of the post-independence central and state governments? The author tries to answer some of these questions. He argues that understanding these issues is not only a matter of academic enquiry, but also necessary for taking appropriate corrective measures by the community leader-ship as well as by the state. The various chapters focus on the pre-Independence legacy, the impact on Muslims of Partition and politics on ownership of assets, employment, access to education, public services or their role in labour, commerce and industry. It is a report on the current status of the Muslim minority in India, particularly the Urdu-speaking Muslims. Densely documented, with hard to find statistical data, written with an economy of words, no one remotely interested in Indian economy, society or politics can afford to ignore this immensely readable book.

Islam and the Economy of Pakistan

A Critical Analysis of Traditional Interpretation

"Pakistan is faced with many serious challenges that affect the shaping of its destiny as a Muslim nation and a South Asian country. This book seeks to examine two interrelated issues that lead a new dimension to its identity. One, the national structure inherited by Pakistan which became the foundation of the new country, and two, the emergence of traditionalist Islam and its effects on the economic and social life of the people."--BOOK JACKET.

Möglichkeiten von elektronischen Finanzdienstleistern. E-Banking, E-Trading, E-Insurance

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, Note: 1,3, Verwaltungs- und Wirtschafts-Akademie, Gießen, 110 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Übergang von der Industriegesellschaft zur Informationsgesellschaft ist in vollem Gange und eröffnet uns eine Fülle von Möglichkeiten der aktiven Teilhabe auf verschiedensten Ebenen. Beispiele sind die elektronische Steuererklärung (ELSTER) und Plattformen für die Vergabe öffentlicher Aufträge. Auch die Finanzdienstleistungsbranche ist durch das rasante Wachstum der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie einem starken Wandel unterzogen. Die Vielseitigkeit des Kanalvertriebes, verändertes Kundenverhalten, neue Wettbewerber und weitere Faktoren bedrohen gerade im Bereich der Banken die Kunde-Bank-Beziehung. Die Distributionskanäle der Anbieter können zwar durch das Medium Internet weiter ergänzt werden, dafür sind aber durch die gegebene Transparenz im Internet die Kunden immer nur einen Mausklick vom Angebot der Konkurrenz entfernt. So dringen unter anderem auch Non-Banks aus dem Bereich der Industrie und des Handels immer weiter in das Bankengeschäft ein. Immer mehr Kunden möchten den Zugangsweg für ihre Bankgeschäfte frei wählen. Je nach Produkt, Situation oder Bedarf wünschen sie die parallele Nutzung von Internet-Banking, Mobile-Banking, Telefon oder Filiale. Dies geschieht einerseits aus Kostengründen, andererseits auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Bequemlichkeit. Die gut informierten und technik-affinen Kunden nutzen im heutigen preissensiblen Zeitalter gerne die Möglichkeit, durch die Anwendung der elektronischen Distributionswege günstigere Konditionen zu erhalten, die von den Banken durch geringere Transaktionskosten an die Kunden weiter gegeben werden. Ebenso können die Kunden unabhängig von Zeit und Ort ihre Geldgeschäfte tätigen und machen sich damit unabhängig von FilialÖffnungszeiten, da sie sich den Bankschalter auf ihren Bildschirm holen können. Damit die Kunden dieses Angebot auch benutzen, ist es das Ziel der Banken, ein sicheres, anwenderfreundliches und umfassendes Internetportal anzubieten. Der Kunde soll möglichst alles „aus einer Hand“ bekommen, wodurch verhindert werden soll, dass er bei der Konkurrenz ein breiteres Produktangebot vorfindet und dieses dann auch nutzt. Daraus ergibt sich für die Anbieter im E-Finance-Bereich fast automatisch der Bedarf [...]

Comparison of Capitalist Dynamics in Marx and Schumpeter

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Economic and Social History, grade: A, McGill University, 0 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Joseph Schumpeter was born the same year Karl Marx died. One might say Schumpeter was destined to follow in Marx’s footsteps. Marx had involved himself in the study of Capitalism and became a great source of influence for Schumpeter who elaborated on his theories. An essential part of their study was devoted to Capitalist Dynamics. Their views on the subject show fundamental similarities but demonstrate several differences as well, which are explained in part by their different experience of economic history. This paper will focus on comparing and contrasting the capitalist dynamics of Karl Marx and Joseph Schumpeter, their theories on what Capitalism is driven by and how it evolves. As a starting point, it is interesting to distinguish Marx’s and Schumpeter’s opposed feeling of Capitalism. Marx studied the laws of motion of Capitalism because he was concerned about the exploitation of workers and thus was against Capitalism. Schumpeter, on the other side, approved of Capitalism and considered free market Capitalism the “best economic system”. Marx believes that unemployment will increase as workers are replaced by machines and that Capitalism impoverishes the masses. On the other side, Schumpeter believes that Capitalism can ameliorate the conditions of the workers: “The capitalist process, not by coincidence but by virtue of its mechanism, progressively raises the standard of life of the masses. It does so through a sequence of vicissitudes, the severity of which is proportional to the speed of the advance. But it does so effectively.” Karl Marx, however, was not completely against Capitalism as it “rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life”.
