Book excerpt: This study aims to, examine and analyze the history of gold dinar starting from the Prophetic era until Ottomans and to propose gold dinar as an alternative. In addition, this research gives a detailed study on economic and monetary integration among Muslim countries, nature of monetary currency, its functions and its evolution from the Islamic perspective. This study sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of gold and fiat money and provides analysis of classical and modern scholars' view. The research relies on the analytical evocative methodology to achieve its objectives. It extracts several findings such as the differences of gold dinar weight during the Umayyad and Abbasid period, the views of classical scholars on the value of gold as a medium of exchange, measure of values and a means to possess other objects. The gold dinar has played an important role and successfully left an immense impact on the economy in both Muslim and European countries. Furthermore, it describes the view of modern Muslim scholars where most of them accept fiat money while some they prefer gold as money. However, the majority of the scholars are of the opinion that fiat money is the cause of the financial crisis in the world today. Moreover, contemporary Muslim scholars suggest implementing gold dÊnÉr by settlement of debt and using gold as a medium of exchange through the IDB and OIC channel. Finally, this research gives some suggestions to solve the problem of inflation and bring the stability in our financial monetary system and business. This is by proposing a suitable monetary system from the Islamic jurists' perspective for the Muslim world that will be protected from financial and economic crises and free them from servitude to the West due to the use of the fiat money monetary system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After delving into the problems of the present monetary system, it then argues how a return to a gold payment system - like the Islamic dinar - could solve many of the woes of today's economic system. A return to such a system is not only desirable from the economic, political, social and religious perspectives, but also urgent in the present era of globalisation and impending world recession, besides providing a conducive environment for Islamic economics, banking and finance to flourish."

Download or read book An alternative to alternativeless written by Frank Lesser and published by tredition. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus is on a novel analysis, a first-time exposure of the true causes and a sensational immediate solution (which I rightly call a "trick") to our economic, monetary and financial problems, a solution that can not only be implemented in a sensationally short time, but is also made sustainable and lasting by accompanying measures. This sustainability of the solution, which goes hand in hand with the immediate effect of the trick, does not apply to the commercial banks, because they were only deliberately made into superficial scapegoats, the main evil being the algorithms used by the central banks to create so-called primary money creation. Within EMU, the "trick" involves the introduction of country-specific parallel currencies to the EURO. In detail, this is designed to create parallel economic areas, which, however, do not overlap the euro economic area, but rather fit exactly into the gaps that have been torn open within the euro economic area by undesirable developments. These incredibly important details are explained in detail in the book. With the implementation of such a basic solution (trick plus novel money creation at the central banks), the prerequisite would be created to also approach and solve other political problem areas, which have also been celebrated up to now "without alternatives", in the same "alternative" way of thinking, and therefore they are also taken up in the book, e.g: Pension policy, family policy, parliamentary reform, tax reform, reform of the electoral law, reform of care for the elderly, school policy, securing the European energy supply. However, these other political problem areas that I have taken up are to be regarded as secondary; they are merely suggestions, in contrast to the two main points of the basic solution, without which nothing at all can be done, and which I am calling for in the long term because no other promising alternative is known at present. Although my book naturally focuses on the German way out of the crisis, I would like to emphasize that I would like to see a European solution (at least for all countries of the European Monetary Union) and that a German solo effort is hardly feasible and also not desirable. The solutions I propose can be transferred practically 1:1 to all EMU countries, and I often point this out in my remarks. Even the non-EMU countries Great Britain and the USA could immediately adopt my concepts; for they face identical problems!

Book excerpt: From the brightest minds in the field—a revealing look at how countries use their currencies to achieve prosperity . . . and the coming repercussions Bloomberg Television's Sara Eisen sheds light on the complex global financial system through this illuminating collection of essays.

The reserve status is in doubt in a post financial crisis era but alternatives are lacking. . . . This book is a great guide on how the global currency system is morphing into apotential new standard, but not without the necessary volatility."—Ben Emons, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager, PIMCO

Download or read book The Islamic Moral Economy written by Shafiel A. Karim and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Islamic Moral Economy is an academic book that analyzes the religious permissibility or lack thereof of the existing repertoire of financial instruments used in Islamic banking and finance. The work is both timely and sound, especially considering the growth of the international Islamic banking and insurance industries, and the Great Recession of 2007-2010. The Islamic Moral Economy is an excellent introductory book for academics and finance professionals wishing to gain a better understanding of Islamic moral constraints on economic transactions and how most current Islamic banking transactions are structured. More specifically, the author examines the utopian nature of the Islamic moral economy with a special emphasis on riba (i.e., financial interest and illogical increase), which is inescapable in the global interconnected economy, and therefore insoluble within the framework of the Islamic Moral Economy. Unlike other books on the subject, The Islamic Moral Economy places a special emphasis on the ubiquity of financial interest and illogical increase in both current Islamic banking and finance as well as conventional economics.
Download or read book Mutual Life Limited written by Bill Maurer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are people continually surprised to discover that money is "just" meaning? Mutual Life, Limited spends time among those who, in acknowledging the fictions of finance, are making money anew. It documents ongoing efforts to remake money and finance by Islamic bankers who seek to avoid interest and local currency proponents who would stand outside of national economies. It asks how alternative moneys both escape and reenact dominant forms of money and finance, and reflects critically on their broader implications for scholarship. Based on fieldwork among participants in a local currency system in Ithaca, New York, and among Islamic banking practitioners in the United States, Indonesia, and elsewhere, this book exploits the convergence between the reflexivity of monetary alternatives and social inquiry by questioning the equivalence between money and ethnography. Can money ever be adequate to the value backing it? Can social description ever be adequate to messy and contingent realities? Bill Maurer's ethnographic discovery is that ethnography as such--the holistic description of a way of life--cannot be sustained when faced with a set of practices that anticipates and incorporates it in advance. His fluently written book represents an unprecedented critique of social scientific approaches to money through an ethnographic description of specific monetary alternatives, while also speaking broadly to the very problem of anthropological knowledge in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Islamic Capitalism and Finance written by Murat Çizakça and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It was a humbling experience to read the product of such a remarkable feat of scholarship. It is all at once an exploration in analytic history and a complete text of Islamic finance theory and application. It is also one of the most succinct renditions of the evolution of Islamic finance embedded in a comprehensive account of the particularities of economies as diverse as Malaysia and Turkey. This is a unique contribution to Islamic finance and Islamic economic history. It has been a rewarding learning experience. It is truly a breathtaking effort.' – Abbas Mirakhor, former IMF Executive Director and the recipient of the Islamic Development Bank Prize in Islamic Economics (2003) This illuminating and thought-provoking book questions whether classical Islamic capitalism, which has served Muslims so well for centuries, can provide a viable alternative world economic system. In the current recession – the worst since 1929 – this is surely a provocative question. But if Islamic capitalism is to emerge as a viable alternative, its nature and systems must be well understood. Murat Çizakça explores key issues within Islamic capitalism and finance, shedding light on whether the Islamic system can indeed be called 'capitalist', the principles on which the system was built, the institutions that were consequently developed, how they function and have evolved, and, perhaps, most importantly, whether they can be modernized to meet today's needs. Against the backdrop of rapid change in the Middle East, this book gives a solid background to the economic systems that will emerge in the world of Islam. An essential guide to the past, present and future of Islamic economy and finance, this compelling book will prove to be of particular interest to academics and researchers of economics, finance, economic and financial history and political science.
