Zusammenfassung:For centuries, networks of free exchange enabled populations of the Islamic world to thrive.

At this critical time, hundreds of online markets for ‘telework’ are bringing global business opportunities within reach of many in the Muslim and non‐Muslim worlds alike. Individuals with internet access can directly engage in the global online economy without having to wait for the results of domestic policy liberalisation or needing to relocate in search of higher wages.
