The Islam Quintet

Ali T: A Sultan in Palermo

A Sultan in Palermo

A Novel

Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree

A provocative new theory of "the economy," its history, and its politics that better unites history and economics What is the economy, really? Is it a "market sector," a "general equilibrium," or the "gross domestic product"? Economics today has become so preoccupied with methods that economists risk losing sight of the economy itself. Meanwhile, other disciplines, although often intent on criticizing the methods of economics, have failed to articulate an alternative vision of the economy. Before the ascent of postwar neoclassical economics, fierce debates raged, as many different visions of the economy circulated and competed with one another. In The Real Economy, Jonathan Levy returns to the spirit of this earlier era, which, in all its contentiousness, gave birth to the discipline of economics. Drawing inspiration particularly from Thorstein Veblen and John Maynard Keynes, Levy proposes a theory of the economy that is open to rich empirical and historical scrutiny, covering topics that include the emergence of capitalism, the notion of radical uncertainty, the meaning of demand, the primal desire for money, the history of corporations, and contemporary globalization. Writing for anyone interested in the study of the economy, Levy provides an invaluable provocation for a broader debate in the social sciences and humanities concerning what "the economy" is.

History and Theory

The Real Economy

This book presents a critical and philosophical analysis of Islamic law (Sharia), focusing on its legal structure. The work argues that Islamic jurisprudence should be understood as a human interpretive endeavour, shaped by its historical and social contexts rather than as a fixed divine code. 
The book is organised into two chapters and a conclusion:Chapter One presents the foundational perspectives on Islamic law, examining both traditional and rational approaches and clarifies their practical implications.
Chapter Two offers a critical reassessment of the traditional concept of Islamic law, arguing that it no longer adequately addresses the complexities and challenges of the modern world.
The conclusion synthesises the key findings and proposes a new interpretive framework for understanding and applying Islamic law in today's context.

Family Drama

For more than two decades, Marwan Barghouti has been held in an Israeli prison cell, much of that time in total isolation. Yet his voice has never been forgotten. Described by the Economist as 'the world's most important prisoner' and often referred to as Palestine's Mandela, Barghouti remains the most widely supported Palestinian political leader. As a long-standing advocate of peace grounded in justice and equality, he has become an enduring symbol of unity and hope - even from behind bars. Unbroken brings together, for the first time, a powerful and intimate portrait of Barghouti's life and struggle for a free Palestine: private letters to his family, personal writings, correspondence with global public figures, press interviews, public statements and rare personal photographs. This is his story, in his own words. Unsilenced, unbroken.

In Pursuit of Freedom for Palestine

El Amigo Manso

This book is the first investigation of the relationship between EU digital sovereignty and sustainability strategies. It maps the ambitions and limitations of EU digital strategic autonomy and explores the structural challenges underlying its relationship with its green transition objectives in the context of the ongoing wars in neighbouring European countries and the consequent tensions in the EU energy sector. The EU is racing to achieve technological independence from third countries and foreign multinational companies to protect its digital sovereignty and preserve its fundamental rights. In the EU, digitalisation and the green transformation are seen as twin transitions. Yet, EU digital sovereignty strategies have a significant environmental cost. Reaching a status of strategic autonomy of the EU at the level of digital infrastructures, products, services and data implies higher energy consumption and exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, the geopolitical tensions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine have provoked an unprecedented energy crisis, which is affecting EU economies and impacting objectives of the twin transitions. The book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of the major EU regulatory and policy instruments in this field, providing an invaluable guide for academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of preserving digital sovereignty and addressing climate change in times of war and energy crisis.

Faith & Business

Modern Studies in European Law

The European Union undoubtedly has and continues to face a period of crisis and this book assesses this critical juncture in its history. It adopts a unique multidisciplinary approach drawing on philosophy, social theory, and law, and focusing on the European institutional framework and EU law on free movement and citizenship. This perspective leads to the conclusion that central to the EU's problems is the non-emergence of a European people. This multifaceted approach also allows the author to suggest how the EU might move positively beyond its current challenges. This book provides a genuinely fresh and innovative comment on a much-examined question.

Between Immunity and Recognition

The Search for a European People

Welcome to Faith &amp; Business: A 52-Week Devotional for Christian Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.This devotional was born out of a simple but powerful truth: Your business is your ministry!Whether you're building a brand from scratch, managing a thriving company, freelancing, or leading a team, you are not just a business person - you are a Kingdom representative in the marketplace. You carry the light of Christ into boardrooms, coffee shops, contracts, spreadsheets, and customer service conversations. You are part of God's plan to transform culture, serve others, and create meaningful value-all through the work of your hands.Yet this calling is not easy. Business can be lonely, risky, overwhelming, and often deeply personal. It's a world where faith is tested in practical ways: in late payments, employee tensions, quiet seasons, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to perform. That's why this devotional exists-to serve as a weekly anchor, helping you reconnect your business life with your spiritual life, so the two become one seamless expression of who you are in Christ.God cares deeply about your work. Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman. These weren't just Sunday saints; they were everyday workers who honored God through faith-filled leadership, generosity, diligence, and trust. In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.

This book presents a new perspective on the debate around legitimacy, politics and constitutional law in Supreme Courts. Moving away from the troubling perception that Supreme Courts are trampling on the wrong side of the law/politics divide, it accepts and defends the critical claim that constitutional law is intrinsically and inescapably politics: in style, substance and outcome. It explains what is involved in that claim and recommends a more nuanced and compelling account than it is caricatured to be. The book proceeds to demonstrate how the legal and judicial process can proceed if the law-is-politics critique is taken seriously. Insisting that it cannot be business as usual, the author offers a series of constructive proposals about how constitutional law and judicial decision-making can continue in anything like their present format and style. Recognising that a more radical approach could be taken to the way in which democracy might re-organise, the book runs with the idea that it is possible to incorporate and accommodate the law-is-politics argument within a governmental system of constitutional democracy that resembles closely what now occurs. In that sense, the book is both critical and constructive as well as principled and pragmatic.

Courts, Constitutions and Politics

Rethinking Legitimacy

This book analyses the tendency in international law scholarship and criticism to seek a 'new' international law. Drawing and building on scholarship around the political significance of theological ideas, it argues that underlying this tendency is a relationship between international law and messianic thinking.
