Reviews
'Professor Hans Visser's acclaimed 2009 volume on Islamic finance provided unquestionably one of the best, yet succinct, accounts of the subject. This fully up-to-date and rewritten second edition is set to maintain this standard. Despite growing competition in an ever-expanding field, Professor Visser's well-organized book stands apart by the thoroughness of the research into new developments in Islamic Finance, coupled with the clarity of the writing and clear-headed analysis.' - Mervyn Lewis, University of South Australia 'Hans Visser's book is a clear, concise and well organised introduction to Islamic finance. This second edition not only updates the original work, but provides a much more detailed treatment of the forms of Islamic finance. The controversies surrounding many Islamic financial contracts are explained in a refreshingly objective manner. The disadvantages as well as the advantages of Islamic finance are candidly addressed. The book is highly recommended for postgraduates taking Islamic finance courses, as well as for financial professionals seeking to broaden their knowledge.' - Rodney Wilson, Durham University, UK
