Description
Heaven's Bankers: A Critical Look at Islamic Finance The global economy is increasingly reliant on a trillion-dollar financial industry that adheres to Sharia law. Governments and corporations in the Islamic world are turning to Islamic finance to drive economic growth, while Western institutions are also exploring alternative funding sources. At the heart of this industry is a complex system that seeks to balance economic growth with social justice. In Heaven's Bankers, Harris Irfan, a leading Islamic finance banker, provides a critical analysis of this secretive industry. Drawing on his personal experience and expertise, Irfan debunks common myths and examines the industry's greatest deals. He also looks to the future of Islamic finance, a system that has fundamentally changed the way money is viewed and used. By engaging with the complexities of international finance, Islamic finance has evolved into a distinct system that seeks to maintain its core principles. But as it grows in importance, it must also navigate the challenges of its own ideals. This book offers a unique insight into the world of Islamic finance, one that is both informative and thought-provoking.
