520 1  "This book provides an overview of the practice of Islamic
       finance and the historical roots that define its modes of 
       operation. The focus of the book is analytical and forward
       -looking. It shows that Islamic finance exists primarily 
       today as a form of rent-seeking legal arbitrage. An 
       alternative that emphasizes substance rather than form 
       would serve religious and moral objectives better, through
       mutual and similar financial practices."--BOOK JACKET.
