This research project assesses the extent to which religion influences standards and behaviour in business, by comparing Islamic banking to co-operative banking as carried out by both Christians and Muslims.

The book demonstrates that Muslims and Christians can work together to foster development and to overcome poverty by referring to common ethical standards in business.
