Risk Sharing in Finance: The Islamic Finance Alternative portrays how finance should ideally be done in the Islamic world. An array of different forms of equity contract substitutes for debt. The authors give a new perspective on fundamental reform of our financial system, as they also give us a vision of a future, in which financial crises are very much muted, or, like smallpox, have become a scourge of the past.
George Akerlof
Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2001
Koshland Professor of Economics, University of California at Berkeley
The recent financial crisis has highlighted the risks of excessive debt and leverage. Could a fully equity-based financial system offer a superior alternative? This thoughtful and provocative book argues that it would. Essential reading for those who want to understand how a completely Islamized financial system might work in practice.
Sir Andrew Crockett
Vice Chairman of JPMorgan Chase International; Member, The Group of Thirty; and Former Head of the Bank for International Settlement (BIS)
This is a beautifully written, crystal clear, and tremendously insightful book about what ails our financial system and how key features of Islamic finance could help. Every student of finance can and should learn from this financial gem.
