“James is an excellent leader with qualities of both the head and the heart. At the London Chamber, James led the Policy, Press and Public Affairs team with full vigour and enthusiasm while keeping the strategic vision of the organisation in mind. With a great eye for detail, he is able to solve often deeply complex problems with extreme patience and grace. Emotionally mature while staying focused at the same time, James has an amazing appetite for leading not just dynamic and versatile teams but an entire organisation. By far, he has been the best leader I have worked with and any employee would be lucky to have James as their direct manager. He has my highest recommendation.”

This book examines whether Islamic finance and Islamic economics is challenging the orthodoxy of the money markets. Can ethical finance combined with the prohibition on interest and speculation really work in the global economy? With a political economy approach, the book explores how the industry has grown in modern times – from a short-lived bank in an Egyptian city in the 1960s through to a global industry that is today valued at US$2.05 trillion. From the revelation as articulated by the Prophet Muhammed in the seventh century through to the gleaming 21st century skyscrapers of Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, the book covers the end of European colonialism, the controversial utterances of self-styled religious leaders, the impact of Islamophobia, and the efforts to end poverty through Islamic microfinance. The book uncovers an industry that is both profitable and changing the face of contemporary capitalism.
