Description
Islamic Social Finance Book Description The current dynamics of the world economy show remarkable changes in the socio-economics of credit provision and entrepreneurship. The emergence of the sharing economy; While encouraging innovative models of collaborative agency, networking and entrepreneurship, economic actors are also seeking more sustainable development that can promote profitability and community well-being. This book explores Islamic social finance as a prime example of an economy in change, where the balance between economic efficiency and social impact contributes to the transformation of the market from an exchange to a community-oriented institution. The collected articles analyze the social dimension of entrepreneurship from an Islamic perspective, highlighting the extent to which understandings of “sharing”, distribution and cooperation influence the conceptualization of the market in Islam as a place where “prosperity is shared”. Contributing authors move from the conceptual “roots” of this paradigm to its operational “branches”, connecting the latest trends in the financial market, from the sharing economy, FinTech, and crowdfunding to microcredit, waqf, zakat, sukuk, and green investments, to Sharia-based strategies for community well-being. It deals with the applications of Islamic social finance. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
