Faith, Finance, and Economy
This open access book seeks to foster a multidisciplinary understanding of the ties between faith, financial intermediation, and economic progress by drawing on research across economics, finance, history, philosophy, ethics, theology, public policy, law, and other disciplines. Chapters in this edited volume examine themes as consequential as economic opportunities, real world outcomes and faith; values and consumerism; faith, financial intermediation and economic development in Western and Islamic societies; and the impact of faith issues on US workers, on the workplace and religion, and on the characteristics of good wealth. Though engaging with difficult questions, this book is written in an accessible style to be enjoyed by laypeople and scholars alike.

A controversial account of the work of Adam Smith, which challenges orthodox thought on his contribution to economics. It argues that Smith's reputation as an economist or economic historian is undeserved. Smith's division of labour and market mechanism theories are found wanting.
Rendezvous
Salim Abbas, a student from India, is sent to Chicago by his family to further his education. A fervent Muslim, he has difficulty adjusting to living in American society and is drawn into an Islamist terrorist cell - one of a growing number across the United States. He becomes one of them and now must do as commanded by his Imam to bring honor and respectability to his family.

Rendezvous is the story of how the lives of these men randomly intersect, ultimately meeting head on in a final, horrifying, act of terrorism that shocks the world. Again.
Race, Revolution, and the Struggle for Human Rights in Zanzibar
Zanzibar has had the most turbulent postcolonial history of any part of the United Republic of Tanzania, yet few sources explain the reasons why. The current political impasse in the islands is a contest over the question of whether to revere and sustain the Zanzibari Revolution of 1964, in which thousands of islanders, mostly Arab, lost their lives. It is also about whether Zanzibar's union with the Tanzanian mainland--cemented only a few months after the revolution--should be strengthened, reformed, or dissolved. Defenders of the revolution claim it was necessary to right a century of wrongs. They speak the language of African nationalism and aspire to unify the majority of Zanzibaris thro...

Mercantilism
Ever since the Physiocrats and Adam Smith, mercantilism or 'the mercantile system' have been described as the opposite of classical political economy. This view is very much brought into question by the current book. It argues that the sharp distinction between mercantilism and 19th century laissez-faire economics has obscured the meaning, content
