- Summary:
- The global economic crisis has driven many economists around the world to seek alternative solutions to the Western capitalist model which has proven to have some shortcomings. One prominent area of that research has been Islamic Economics and Finance. Based on the Muslim teachings of Shari'a, this system differs significantly from conventional economics and finance, notably in the prohibition of interest and strong emphasis on moral ethics. In June 2010, IE Business School, with King Abdulaziz University and Casa Árabe, gathered in Madrid some of the world's foremost scholars, academics and practitioners of Islamic Economics and Finance to discuss how this alternative philosophy can be applied in Western financial markets. This collection of highlights from that conference and original articles specifically addresses the post-crisis application, as well as the legal and tax Implications, of this growing and relevant economic philosophy in Europe, including in the area of project finance.
