This handbook offers a unique and original collection of analytical
studies in Islamic economics and finance, and constitutes a humble
addition to the literature on new economic thinking and global
finance. The growing risks stemming from higher debt, slower
growth, and limited room for policy maneuver raise concerns about
the ability and propensity of modern economies to find effective
solutions to chronic problems. It is important to understand the
structural roots of inherent imbalance, persistence-in-error
patterns, policy and governance failures, as well as moral and
ethical failures. Admittedly, finance and economics have their own
failures, with abstract theory bearing little relation with the
real economy, uncertainties and vicissitudes of economic life.
Economic research has certainly become more empirical despite, or
perhaps because of, the lack of guidance from theory. The analytics
of Islamic economics and finance may not differ from standard
frameworks, methods, and techniques used in conventional economics,
but may offer new perspectives on the making of financial crises,
nature of credit cycles, roots of financial system instability, and
determinants of income disparities. The focus is placed on the
logical coherence of Islamic economics and finance, properties of
Islamic capital markets, workings of Islamic banking, pricing of
Islamic financial instruments, and limits of debt financing, fiscal
stimulus and conventional monetary policies, inter alia. Readers
with investment, regulatory, and academic interests will find the
body of analytical evidence to span many areas of economic inquiry,
refuting thereby the false argument that given its religious
tenets, Islamic economics is intrinsically narrative, descriptive
and not amenable to testable implications. Thus, the handbook may
contribute toward a redefinition of a dismal science in search for
an elusive balance between rationality, ethics and morality, and
toward a remodeling of economies based on risk sharing and
prosperity for all humanity
