Money and Real Economy IT is not generally known that there is an Islamic way of managing national economies. Only two systems are well known, viz., socialist and capitalist.

The contributors to this book deal with various aspects of Islamic finance and application of its fundamental principles to alleviate poverty and promote economic good. Worth a serious study.
