description Hizbut Tahrir (The Party of Liberation) is an international pan-Islamic politica l organization. Its goal is to unify all Muslim countries as an Islamic state (caliphate) ruled by shariah. They argued that caliphate and Islamic law should not be separated. Without a caliphate, the sharia application will never be totally accomplished. Factually, these grand themes constitute the global discourse applied by Hizbut Tahrir movements around the world. It becomes the main idea that links their global ideological ground and commonality. Hizbut Tahrir (HT) entered into Indonesia in 1982, through M. Mustofa and Abdurrahman al-Baghdadi. As in another countries, HT got repression from the government. Using a momentum of the reformation era, Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) begin to socialize its ideas openly. Even in 2000, they have registered its organization at the Ministry of Domestic Affairs. This study aims to scrutinize the ideas of HTI thinking about political economy, which is devoted to the theory about the relationship between religion, state and economy, as well as the construction of public finances. This study is intended as a historical study of Islamic economic thought. The discourse of the study focuses on three questions. First, how does HTI grow in Indonesia, and why does they flourish? Second, what are the relationship between the religion, the state and the economy according to them? Finally, how is the structure of HTI’s public finances? This qualitative study was an exploratory-analysis. It was intended to analyze key concepts in a plantation of thought that has been documented, both from primary and secondary sources. It is a library research. The sources of the research are in the form of HTI’s works which have been well documented in a large numbers, including in the Pdf formats. The study found that HTI tended to see every current economic problem by reflecting it into the cultural heritage of the past. Related to this, the slogan that they have always been shouted was “Sharia is the only solution.” From this philosophy it can be estimated that HTI’s thoughts of Islamic public finance, will face the problem of contextualization. Hizbut Tahrir (Partai Kemerdekaan) adalah sebuah gerakan politik Islam internasional. Tujuannya adalah untuk menjadikan negara-negara Muslim dalam satu kepemimpinan negara Khilafah yang diatur dengan syariah. Mereka berpendapat bahwa kekhalifahan dan hukum Islam tidak dapat dipisahkan. Tanpa Negara khilafah, syariah tidak dapat diterapkan dengan sempurna. Gagasan utama inilah yang diusung oleh Hizbut Tahrir di seluruh dunia. Gagasan pokok itulah yang mempertemukan idiologi dan pergerakan mereka. Hizbut Tahrir masuk ke Indonesia pada tahun 1982 melalui M. Mustofa dan Abdurrahman al-Bagdadi. Sebagaimana di negara-negara lain, HT mendapat tekanan dari pemerintah. Dengan memanfaatkan momentum era reformasi, HTI mulai mensosialisasikan ide-idenya secara terbuka. Bahkan pada tahun 2000 mereka telah mendaftarkan dirinya sebagai organisasi resmi di Depdagri Ditjen Kesatuan Bangsa. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap gagasan pemikiran HTI tentang ekonomi politik, khususnya mengenai teori hubungan antara agama, negara dan perekonomian, serta mengenai konstruksi keuangan publik. Kajian ini dimaksudkan sebagai studi historis tentang pemikiran ekonomi Islam. Pokok masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, bagaimana HTI tumbuh dan berkembang di Indonesia. Kedua, bagaimanakah hubungan antara agama, Negara dan perekonomian menurut mereka. Ketiga, bagaimanakah struktur keuangan public menurut HTI? Kajian kualitatif ini bersifat eksploratif-analisis, yakni dimaksudkan untuk mengurai dan menganalisa secara mendalam mengenai konsep-konsep kunci dalam pemikiran HTI yang telah terdokumentasikan, baik dari sumber primer maupun sekunder. Berdasar sifatnya, penelitian ini termasuk library research, di mana bahan dan sumber data penelitian ini berupa karya-karya dari tokohtokoh HTI yang telah terdokumentasikan dengan baik dalam jumlah besar, termasuk dalam format Pdf. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa HTI cenderung melihat segala persoalan ekonomi saat ini dengan merefleksikannya pada warisan budaya masa lalu. Terkait dengan hal ini, slogan yang selalu mereka teriakkan adalah “Syariah adalah satu-satunya solusi.” Dari cara berfikir ini dapat diperkirakan bila pemikiran-pemikiran keuangan publik HTI akan menghadapi problem kontektualitas.
