“The author has done an excellent job of taking the reader through a variety of linked elements as they relate to Islam, e.g., history, law, economic development, culture, finance, banking … which have then been described within a variety of countries in the South-east Asian region.”
“Very well-written and informative … The author succeeds where most writers on this subject fail. He has produced a balanced and well-written study, which at no point in the text slips into value judgement. In this sense, he sets a standard for future studies of this ever-changing field. Angelo M Venardos's book is about a mature modern banking system and the challenges of adapting to a changing business environment characterized by the globalization of the financial industry and the increasing sophistication of banking business.”
“This volume will be of value to anyone interested in the history, methods, and rules of Islamic finances in Southeast Asia. It is written by a non-Muslim who views the subject through a different prism, which makes the book unique.”
