‘This book furthers the literature comparing Islamic and conventional banking during and after the most recent crisis. However, it also moves beyond that explicitly comparative method. Although there are a host of similarities between Islamic banking and its conventional counterpart, there are also differences without which the claim to being distinctive and distinctively Islamic would fall away. As a result the chapters in this collected volume comprise original innovation thereby advancing the existing literature.’ -- Scott Morrison, Akita University * Journal of Islamic Studies * I highly recommend this compelling book to any newcomer to Islamic finance, as a primer on the subject, as well as to experts. * Mahmoud Mohieldin, The World Bank's President Special Envoy *
