Description
Islamic Finance Principles and Practice, Third Edition by Hans Visser This timely book explores the ideas and concepts that drive Islamic finance, examining recent developments and tensions between belief systems and market demands. In this updated third edition, Visser reviews the products, institutions, and markets offered by Islamic finance, situating them in the competitive contemporary environment. Visser offers a critical assessment of the claims of Islamic finance's ethical superiority, instead highlighting how it imitates conventional finance. The book also discusses how fiscal and monetary policy can be adapted to Islamic financial institutions, making it an invaluable resource for international bankers, financial journalists, and politicians seeking new directions in economics and finance. Concise yet comprehensive in scope, this book provides a valuable exploration of Islamic finance and its relevance in the modern marketplace.
