The book discusses leading issues in Islamic economics and finance that
continue to remain in a fluid, non-consensual state in the profession.
It examines the nature and significance of Islamic economics. The book
deals with the mainstream topics including growth, environment,
distributive justice, monetary policy, risk treatment, methodology and
Basel Accords to rehabilitate them for the Islamic discipline within the
framework of scarcity, self-interest and gain maximization. Further, it
explores the role of the state in directing the economy toward achieving
Islamic goals of development and welfare.
