Buku Sosialisme Islam ini mengulas pemikiran kritis Mustafa al-Siba’i, terhadap dua ideologi ekonomi besar abad ke-20, yaitu Sosialisme-Marxisme dan Kapitalisme. Dalam pandangan al-Siba’i, baik Marxisme maupun Kapitalisme memiliki kelemahan mendasar yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai keadilan dan kemanusiaan. Ia menyoroti eksploitasi manusia oleh kapitalisme yang memicu ketimpangan sosial, serta kekakuan Marxisme yang cenderung mengekang kebebasan individu dan spiritualitas. Al-Siba’i menawarkan alternatif berupa "Sosialisme Islam," yang menurutnya lebih berimbang karena didasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip keadilan sosial yang terkandung dalam ajaran Islam. Sosialisme Islam yang ia gagas berupaya menjembatani aspek positif dari kedua sistem tersebut, seperti distribusi kekayaan yang adil dan kebebasan individu, dengan tetap mempertahankan moralitas dan nilai spiritual agama.
