This timely book examines the authorization of Shari?ah-compliant
intermediaries as either credit institutions or as investment
companies in the European Union.The contributing authors explore
the key topics of this area through differing yet parallel
perspectives ? for example, comparing economic and legal
standpoints, looking at both European and national levels and
considering both academic and technical approaches. The book
discusses the common origin of Islamic and Western traditions in
commercial and banking transactions, reviewing a period in which
the Italian merchants and their organizations drove the rebirth of
post-medieval society in trade and law. The editors investigate
whether the Islamic banking and financial model complies with the
European framework, spelling out the different experiences in
single Member States (Germany, France, Italy, and the United
Kingdom). Notwithstanding the obstacles to being authorized as
domestic credit institutions, they conclude that the access of
Islamic intermediaries is suitable and may have positive effects on
European integration, as well as increasing the competition among
the stand-still operators and evoking the ethical dimension of
banking and finance. The book also highlights how Islamic banking
would make the industry more inclusive.This multidisciplinary book
will appeal greatly to economics and legal scholars with an
interest in European and international banking and financial law,
as well as postgraduate students in international law and banking
law. Practitioners and regulators will also find this book an
invaluable resource.
"Precisely the kind of book that Western economists have been
waiting for."-John Presley, former professor of economics,
University of Loughborough A systematic and rigourous exposition of
various aspects of the economics of Islam. These essays not only
provide an overview of the various dimensions of Islamic economics
but also convincingly establish the viability of the application of
these concepts in the contemporary set-up. The analysis presented
in this book also establishes the amenability of Islamic economics
to scientific investigation and hence its conclusions and analysis
directly comparable with what is known as the science of Economics.
The scope of this book as well as the analytical and rigorous
approach used in presenting Islamic economics makes this a useful
and perhaps the only book so far available that can be utilized as
teaching material in graduate programs in universities both in the
East and the West where this subject is taught. It fulfills the
need of graduate students of economics in that it provides rigorous
reading material to assist them in their course work or in pursuing
their own research on the subject. M. Fahim Khan is the president
of the Islamic Society of Institutional Economics at the
International Institute of Islamic Economics, Islamabad, Pakistan,
and is the author of ten monographs on Islamic economics.
