Islam and Mammon The Economic Predicaments of Islamism

"In this first-rate analysis, Timur Kuran provides a rigorous analytical explanation and evaluation of the 'system of thought' that has come to be known as Islamic economics and the 'economic system' that it proposes. It is refreshing to see a work that stands apart from the mishmash of cultural relativism of Islamophiles and the ideological warfare of the Islamophobes."--Sohrab Behdad, Denison University"Timur Kuran has brought serious scholarship to a subject the rest of us have lacked the skill or courage to address. Moreover, he has managed to package this major achievement in a book that is well-written, timely, and accessible to a broad audience."--Laurence R. Iannaccone, George Mason UniversityKuran, Timur is the author of 'Islam and Mammon The Economic Predicaments of Islamism', published 2005 under ISBN 9780691126296 and ISBN 0691126291.
