Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Faith, Value, and Risk: Principles and Practice of the Islamic Financial System provides a broad and structured examination of Islamic finance, from its foundations in Islamic jurisprudence to its contemporary applications in banking, investment, insurance, social finance, technology, and global markets.The book begins by establishing the historical and intellectual foundations of Islamic finance and explaining the role of fiqh in shaping financial principles and practices. It then examines the system's fundamental contractual structures, including mudarabah and musharakah, and considers the distinctive importance of risk sharing and responsible financial relationships.A central theme throughout the book is the relationship between financial activity and ethical responsibility. The discussion addresses key Islamic financial principles and the prohibitions associated with riba, gharar, and maysir, while exploring their implications for contemporary transactions and financial design.The analysis then moves into the institutions and mechanisms through which Islamic finance operates. Topics include Shariah governance and legal compliance, Islamic banking and retail finance, Islamic capital markets and sukuk, and takaful insurance. The book also explores the social dimension of the Islamic financial system through zakat, wealth redistribution, and social finance.Contemporary developments receive substantial attention. The relationship between Islamic finance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles is examined alongside developments in financial technology, including blockchain and digital assets. The book also considers regulatory environments and global adoption, strategic implementation for Islamic financial institutions, and the challenges associated with Shariah non-compliance and financial risk.The final chapter looks toward future trends and strategic possibilities, considering emerging markets and innovation pathways.Faith, value, and risk will appeal to readers who want to understand Islamic finance as a comprehensive system rather than as a collection of specialised financial products. It offers useful perspectives for students, researchers, financial practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the relationship between Islamic values, economic activity, financial risk, and institutional innovation.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Ethical Prosperity: Understanding the Architecture of Islamic Economics offers a structured introduction to the principles, institutions, and contemporary applications that shape Islamic economic thought. Rather than treating Islamic economics as simply a system of banking without interest, this book presents it as a broader moral and institutional framework in which wealth, ownership, contracts, finance, redistribution, social welfare, and environmental responsibility are connected.The book begins with the foundations of the Islamic economic worldview and traces the historical development of Islamic economic thought and classical jurisprudence. It then examines fundamental principles such as divine sovereignty over wealth and human stewardship before turning to the prohibition of riba and its economic implications. Particular attention is given to zakat, property rights, contractual frameworks, and the ethical boundaries that distinguish permissible economic activity from practices considered inconsistent with Shariah.Readers are introduced to major Islamic financial instruments and banking models, including risk-sharing structures such as musharaka and mudaraba, as well as the operational dimensions of Islamic banking, Shariah governance, and compliance. The discussion then moves beyond theory to contemporary questions: financial inclusion, sustainable development, environmental stewardship, Islamic microfinance, poverty alleviation, and the design of effective economic policies.The book also considers Islamic economics across different cultural and political contexts, allowing readers to see how principles are interpreted and applied in a changing global environment. Its final sections explore emerging directions in Islamic digital finance and practical strategies for designing Shariah-compliant business models.Ethical Prosperity is intended for readers who want to understand Islamic economics as an integrated intellectual and practical field. It can serve students and researchers of Islamic economics, finance, business, development, and political economy, while also offering useful orientation for professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and readers interested in ethical alternatives to conventional economic thinking.Clear in structure and broad in scope, the book connects classical principles with modern institutions and emerging financial practices. It invites readers to consider a central question: how can economic activity pursue prosperity while remaining accountable to ethical principles, social responsibility, and the wider purposes of human welfare? It bridges conceptual study, institutional analysis, and contemporary financial realities today. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In The Works and the Days of Machiavelli, Hichem Karoui presents a compelling synthesis of the life and ideas of Niccolo Machiavelli, illuminating the intellectual foundations of modern statecraft.Set against the backdrop of Renaissance Italy-a fragmented world of rival city-states, diplomatic intrigue, and military conflict-this book examines how Machiavelli's direct involvement in public affairs informed his revolutionary approach to politics. His writings are not abstract theories, but responses to urgent historical realities.This volume explores the tension at the heart of Machiavelli's work: the relationship between necessity and morality. It reconsiders The Prince as a pragmatic guide to leadership, while placing equal emphasis on the republican ideals articulated in Discourses on Livy. Together, these works reveal a thinker deeply concerned with political stability, civic participation, and the preservation of liberty.The book also addresses Machiavelli's long-standing reputation as a symbol of manipulation and deceit, offering a more balanced interpretation that highlights his contribution to the emergence of political science as a discipline grounded in observation and experience.Why Read This Book?The Enigma Decoded: Understand the true meaning of virtu and fortuna.Institutional Design: Learn why Machiavelli believed conflict, when channeled by law, makes a republic stronger.Vast Bibliography: Includes a curated list of primary and secondary sources for further research.Accessible in style yet intellectually rigorous, this edition is ideal for readers seeking both an introduction and a deeper understanding of Machiavelli's thought and its relevance today.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A Journey Through Five Millennia of Innovation, Resilience, and Cultural SynthesisWhat defines a civilization that refuses to fade? From the monumental stone reliefs of Persepolis to the celestial verses of Rumi, Iranian civilization stands as a testament to the power of cultural endurance. The Enduring Genius of Iranian Civilization offers a profound exploration of a legacy that has not only survived the rise and fall of empires but has consistently reinvented itself to shape the course of human history.The Enduring Genius of Iranian Civilization is a captivating journey through the soul of a nation that has shaped global culture since antiquity. Editor Hichem Karoui brings together a multidisciplinary perspective to showcase the resilience, creativity, and intellectual rigor of the Iranian people. From the architectural grandeur of Persepolis to the modern-day festivals that celebrate ancient poets, this book reveals the threads of continuity that bind modern Iranians to their ancestors. It tells the story of how a civilization transformed external challenges-from Hellenistic influence to the Islamic conquest-into opportunities for brilliant innovation.This volume traces the Iranian timeline from the administrative brilliance of the Achaemenid Empire-the first to codify human rights in the Cyrus Cylinder-through the spiritual depth of Zoroastrian philosophy. It challenges the notion of historical "discontinuity" following the Islamic conquest, revealing instead a magnificent synthesis. Readers will discover how Persian polymaths like Ibn Sina and Al-Khawarizmi became the architects of the Islamic Golden Age, bridging ancient wisdom with revolutionary advances in medicine, mathematics, and science.Beyond the facts of history, this book delves into the "Persian Cosmopolis"-a cultural network that spread Persian art, literature, and governance from the Mediterranean to the Indus Valley. It examines the resilience of the Persian language and the timeless impact of the Shahnameh in preserving national identity.Concluding with a look at modern Iran, the book analyzes how ancient governance models and traditional aesthetics continue to influence contemporary political culture and artistic innovation. Whether you are a historian, a student of culture, or a curious reader, this book invites you to witness the living tradition of a civilization that continues to inspire and inform the world.Engaging and deeply researched, this volume is an essential addition to the library of any history lover or traveler interested in the rich tapestry of the Middle East.
