- Title
In the Name of Allah and of the Market: The Capitalist Leanings of Tunisian Islamists.
- Authors
Rousselin, Mathieu
- Abstract
Congruent both with Maxime Rodinson's theoretical reflections on the articulation between Islam and capitalism and with the embrace of neoliberalism by the Turkish AKP and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the Tunisian Islamist party Ennahdha can be shown to have skillfully combined Islamic ideology with capitulation to the dictates of international capital and its ideology of the free market. In particular, under the premierships of Hamadi Jebeli and Ali Larayedh, Ennahdha worked closely with neoliberal institutions to implement structural adjustment programs and to develop a supply-based, export-oriented economy in which public subsidies partly make up for shockingly low wages while religious discipline is used to keep workers from striking for improved working conditions.
