In Saudi Arabia today a classic confrontation between Islamic
fundamentalism and modernism has brought the Saudi banking system
virtually to a state of paralysis. The debate is between those
upholding the traditional Islamic prohibition against charging
interest on loans and those who wish to see a modern banking system
capable of generating credit to support economic development.
Drawing on personal experience, interviews, and unpublished primary
sources, Peter Wilson tells a dramatic story of powerful
personalities, clashing cultures, and often mysterious institutions
with a journalists’ eye for the telling anecdote as well as for
the statistical evidence.
