Editorial Reviews
Jay Palmer, Barron's
" this timely book, one that just about anyone aiming to do business in the Islamic world should read".
Review
[A] timely book, one that just about anyone aiming to do business in the Islamic world should read. . . . A good read.
(Jay Palmer Barron's )
What is Islamic banking? What is Islamic economics? Islam and Mammon . . . sets out the genesis of these ideas and criticizes, severely but still sympathetically, both the performance and the underlying logic of this Islamic approach to economic activity.
(L. Carl Brown Foreign Affairs )
[Kuran's] writing is lively, his arguments are cogent, and the scholarship is wide ranging. . . . [A] useful and understandable introduction to both the doctrines of Islamic economics and how they are related to economic behavior in predominantly Islamic nations.
(Frederic L. Pryor EH.NET )
The clear theme unifying these essays is that Islamic economics as such is not a genuine answer to the world's economic problems, but an 'invented tradition' that serves as an adjunct to the broader, anti-Western, Islamist (or Islamic fundamentalist) political and religious movement. . . . Timur Kuran's book makes this case all too clearly and eloquently.
