Dr Abbas Mirakhor, Former Executive Director, International Monetary Fund and internationally renowned authority on Islamic Finance :
The core concern that these papers convey is what must be done to render Islamic finance efficient, competitive and well integrated with the global financial system….this is a collection of significant, perceptive and insightful paper that is indispensable to understanding operation aspects of Islamic finance….at a minimum, this book should become required reading for all those interested in an alternative financial system, particularly in this post-financial crisis stage.
