The Macroeconomic Effects of War Finance in the United States: Taxes, Inflation, and Deficit Finance (Financial Sector of the American Economy)

Book Description

Wael B. Hallaq is already established as one of the most eminent scholars in the field of Islamic law. In his latest book, he traces the history of Islamic legal theory from its beginnings until the modern period. The book is the first of its kind in organization, approach to the subject, and critical apparatus, and as such will be an essential tool for the understanding of Islamic legal theory in particular and Islamic law in general. Its accessibility of language and style guarantees it a readership among students and scholars, as well as anyone interested in Islam and its evolution.

Extremely Well Written.......2003-01-09

In addition to the existing comments:

This book is extremely well written. Although it reads like a textbook, this merely reflects the high level of scholarship the author brings to his subject. The analysis is precise, thorough, and clearly explained. He touches a point once, addresses it completely, and then moves on. An essential read.

A good introduction.......2001-03-18

This book is more than a History, it basically defines the Usul al-fiqh terms and their development and historically how the concept were being developed, changed and added on. For being about only Sunni Usul al-fikh the scope is limited to a certain sect. Author takes you through early years when he claims no methodology were existed than to Imam Shafii whom he does not put as a founding father in the field of fikh, continues with some quranic concepts like clear/ambigious ayats, foundations of hadits, abbrogation and than into tools of the law, concensus, ijma, qiyas, istihsan, istishab,ijtihad etc. The best part of the book is that author provides examples of each concept for illustration, explains opinions of known mujtehits on the subjects. The book closes with modernist efforts by F.Rahman and especially the author have high regards for Shahrur. The book shows although not in broad acceptance by everybody, the change in methodology from using Quran and Sunna of the Prophet(pbh) to Quran only and socio/politic conditions of the current times and elimination of Ijma or ancient ijtihads.

A Wonderful (and the only) English Work on the Subject.......2000-10-24

Hallaq's book is excellent in that it manages to capture the essence of each epoch which he covers. Particularly interesting in this book is Hallaq's treatment the birth of usual al-fiqh and its modern interpretations. Reading about the pre-modern zenith of Islamic jurisprudence, which Hallaq completely identifies with the work of al-Shatiby, one becomes totally skeptical to the applicability of Islamic law beyond the realm of religious ritual. However, Hallaq captures well continuity and ingenuity represented in recent reforms achieved by two groups which he will label in the last chapter of his work as the utilitarians and the liberals.

The weakness of Hallaq's work is that its contents are unbalanced. I wish more time was spent on the formation of fiqh and the justification of its existence. Nonetheless, his treatment of these topics is solid. This work can be a little tedious @ times, but usul al-fiqh is itself tedious. In the whole spectrum of the book, one realizes that this itself is part and parcel to the reform occuring today. Excellent work but by no means a decisive study to answer all questions-too short.

Introduction to the Islamic legal theory.......2000-06-01

It is a great book which summarizes the Islamic jurispedence, not in a whiggish style looking back to the medieval ages, but locating the theological essence of fikh, which is not only a meaningless study on Quran but a compilation of hundreds of years which has its ortodoxy established in 10th century.

Book Description

The current agenda of economic and political reform is considered here by those most actively involved: members of governments, officials of multinational institutions, bankers, businessmen, analysts, and organizers of aid.

Book Description

This book systematically addresses the issue of interdependence between road projects in a network, when prioritizing and scheduling road expansion and maintenance. The book presents substantial applications for both rural and urban projects and to the optimization of maintenance. The authors confirm the extreme sensitivity to project timing but also show that solutions with almost equal net present values may have dissimilar work schedules. One of these may be selected on environmental or other grounds without losing road user benefits. They go on to explore and demonstrate the issues associated with the integration of evolutionary computing technique, transport modeling and cost-benefit analysis to achieve an optimal road investment timetable. Demonstrating the application of evolutionary computing technique to an exceptionally complex problem in the real business world, Cost-Benefit Analysis and Evolutionary Computing will be of great value to academics and those practitioners and researchers interested in addressing the classic issue of evaluating road expansion and maintenance programs.

Book Description

This important book analyzes evolutionary approaches to economic policy. Its main purpose is to explore the policy implications of evolutionary economics, particularly those approaches inspired on the one hand by Schumpeter and revived by Nelson and Winter which deal with industrial evolution under constant institutions and, on the other hand, approaches inspired by Hayek and North which analyze the ways in which institutions themselves evolve.

Book Description

The book investigates the meaning, nature and consequences of innovation interactions between small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS).It focuses on the concept of a virtuous circle linking KIBS' and SMEs' innovation capacities in Germany and France. A particular emphasis is given to the question of the role and nature of the knowledge base of the firm in an evolutionary perspective. The integration of the spatial dimension strengthens the examination.For this purpose, a new data analysis methodology has been developed. This methodology consists of a combination of complementary statistical procedures, which provides a tool allowing a reliable examination of the data collected. The samples considered in the analysis constitute a source of rich, complex, and diversified information.

Selling starts with Attitude!.......2005-10-21

Larry Wilson, a sales superstar in the Life Insurance business, was a champion of looking at your own attitudes about selling, your company, your products, your marketplace, your competition,your prospects, and your customers. You might think this may be nothing new, but at the time it was not the prevailing thought about selling and "salesmanship".

A good book to see the evolution of selling. Helps to empower salespeople to be more in control of their own selling success!

Success with Selling Anything.......2002-04-28

Larry Wilson was one of the best life insurance salemen the world ever saw. He could have sold anything. In his book, he shares his secrets of success. While some of his secrets may be nothing new now, he was one of the first to understand training people to be successful sales people. Out-of-print, this book will be a valuable addition to your library.
