Abstract

This chapter explores the mutual learning and convergence between Islamic economics and conventional economics. It showcases how Islamic economics has been open to drawing insights from various schools of economic thought and other social sciences, including neoclassical, Keynesian, social, humanistic, and institutional economics. This openness to learning and incorporating useful tools and perspectives has enriched the field of Islamic economics and is likely to continue to do so in the future. As both disciplines evolve, there is the potential for further convergence and mutual learning between Islamic economics and conventional economics, contributing to a more comprehensive and robust economic understanding.
