Samenvatting

How the Islamic finance approach to risk can serve as a model for global reform The recent U.S. financial debacle has affected the entire world and led to major reviews of risk management in financial institutions. Perhaps a simpler alternative is just to adopt the systems used for centuries in Islamic finance.

The arrival of Risk Sharing in Finance: The Islamic Finance Alternative with its alternative perspective on a financial system design to mitigate future financial crises could not have been better timed. We are still suffering from the perplexing 2008-2009 financial crisis of banking and credit risk, which has had a devastating impact on the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. In contrast to many proposed solutions, which have never been tested, this one draws on the considerable experience from the Islamic financial risk-sharing system. Whether prime researcher, experienced public policy maker or seasoned private-sector practitioner, the reader will find this a thought-provoking approach to address fundamental financial reform.

Risk Sharing in Finance: The Islamic Finance Alternative portrays how finance should ideally be done in the Islamic world. An array of different forms of equity contract substitutes for debt. The authors give a new perspective on fundamental reform of our financial system, as they also give us a vision of a future, in which financial crises are very much muted, or, like smallpox, have become a scourge of the past.

The recent financial crisis has highlighted the risks of excessive debt and leverage. Could a fully equity-based financial system offer a superior alternative? This thoughtful and provocative book argues that it would. Essential reading for those who want to understand how a completely Islamized financial system might work in practice.

This is a beautifully written, crystal clear, and tremendously insightful book about what ails our financial system and how key features of Islamic finance could help. Every student of finance can and should learn from this financial gem.
