Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book explores the Savings Finance model in Turkey, an interest-free financial system grounded in interest-free finance principles that came into being in the 1990s as an ethical alternative to conventional banking. The study examines the operational mechanisms of the model, particularly the collective savings pools for housing, vehicles, and workplaces. These pools circumvent the use of fixed interest rates by employing profit and loss sharing and managed fund pools. The book integrates theoretical analyses of interest-free finance and global models, such as ROSCAs, with empirical data from a nationwide survey of 662 participants. It assesses factors including public trust, theological sensitivities, and demographic influences on financial preferences.The book discusses the sector's legal framework, operational mechanisms (including inflation-protected and lottery-based models), and its socio-economic impact, highlighting challenges like balancing religious norms with cost competitiveness. It also assesses awareness gaps and strategies to enhance institutional credibility. The book's comprehensive collection of cross-tabulated demographic data and quantitative analyses renders it a valuable resource for scholars of interest-free finance, economists, policymakers, and professionals interested in ethical financial systems. It offers critical insights for those exploring how cultural, religious, and regulatory dynamics shape alternative finance in emerging markets.

Paperback. Condition: New. It would be difficult to examine interest- free alternative fi nancial systems without reviewing the evolution of debt; thus, this book offers a chronological account of the development of interest- bearing debt and contributors offer their take on how the issue of interest has been addressed throughout medieval and modern civilizations.The Evolution of Interest and Debt provides a review of the impact of these interest-bearing debt and practices upon social relations and institutions, throughout the history of modern economics, observing the relative conditions of the time and, as such, will shed light on the ongoing problems as well. The authors assert that the development of the concept of interest can be traced through three historical periods. The first period covers measures from a more radical stance, as introduced by the Abrahamic religions, with the same foundations and principles at their core. The second period examines the arguments that justify interest-bearing debt, particularly how the stance of major religions has been translated into a basis of support for these transactions. The third and final part offers a chronological account of the development of interest-bearing debt transactions and their disruptive impacts throughout the history of modern economics from the medieval to the modern era. Initially, the book presents a conceptual framework of terms applicable to the discussions and then examines the consistency and reliability of the theological and philosophical arguments on the restrictions imposed upon the practice of interest and debt, including rigid prohibition. Each period presents its own dynamics and helps analysts better understand the history and roots of interest-bearing debt. While the book is grounded on research that relies heavily on historical sources, it offers a contribution to the literature on economics as well, since the historical findings are analyzed in the context of economic terms and theories.An interdisciplinary effort, the book will attract the attention of those who have an interest in fi nance, economics, history, religion and sociology.…
