Globalization and Islamic Finance, by three well-respected authors in Islamic finance, provides a thought-provoking analysis of an important and topical issue, particularly, given the global impact of the current financial and economic crises. The book is the first attempt to make a compelling case of convergence between globalization and Islamic finance. Askari, Iqbal and Mirakhor should be praised for this serious effort, which is a must-read for academics and practitioners interested in Islamic finance.

This book has a robust discussion of the growth and spread of Islamic finance within the umbrella of globalization. The book provides a unique view of Islamic finance, not only from the perspective of how Islamic finance fits within globalization in general, but globalization of finance in particular. This is a must read for anyone interested in the complex and complicated world of Islamic finance.

I have not come across any literature that has delved so intensely in financial globalization, in particular Islamic finance. Due to this reason, I would encourage all interested in this area to read this book.

Ironically, the financial crisis of 2007–09 could prove to be a major catalyst for promoting the growth and globalization of Islamic finance and its convergence with conventional finance. The crisis has highlighted the inherent flaws of fractional reserve banking, debt leveraging, and the creation of money out of thin air. It may thus be a major force for change in conventional finance, toward greater reliance on equity financing and risk sharing, and thus increase the likelihood of a convergence of conventional and Islamic finance.
How will globalization affect both conventional and Islamic finance? Will they continue to flourish as two distinct financial systems? Will they converge over time, or will one absorb the other? How will they each affect globalization? What does their history, and the history of globalization, reveal about their future? These are the major issues addressed in this timely book.
