  Guided by the Sharia laws Islamic banking is grounded on the laws on the belief that all types of interest is forbidden. Investing in businesses that deal in business of pork or alcohol or those that lead to gossip such as media or are against Islamic values such as pornography is completely prohibited. Speculative transactions are also banned in this law. Because of a different way of running their financial system the regular banking financial instruments cannot be used in Islamic banking. 
  However, the banking and finance in Islam do have the same motive as the conventional banking which is to generate money for the banking organisation which is by lending capital while also keeping within the boundaries outlined by the Islamic law. 
  Instead of the basic principle which the conventional banks use that is transfer of risk the Islamic banks follow the principle of risk sharing. 
  The laws of Sharia vary from country to country. While in some countries they are liberal in other places they follow the exact interpretation of Sharia laws.

  The Theory of the Leisure Class

  Thorstein Veblen

  This scathing critique of America’s preoccupation with wealth and status in the Gilded Age continues to resonate more than a century after it was first published   According to economist Thorstein Veblen, the leisure class produces nothing, contributes nothing, and creates nothing, yet exercises a peculiar control over American society. The shallowness of their interests—from fashion to sports to entertainment—endows the practice of “conspicuous consumption” with an undeserving air of respectability.   Veblen deploys a razor sharp wit to expose the pretensions of the idle rich and their disastrous influence on the national character. From ruthless business practices to the plight of women in a male-dominated culture, The Theory of the Leisure Class tackles difficult subjects with sophisticated analysis and a vibrant literary style that influenced the work of authors including Edith Wharton, Henry James, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.   A must-read for students of American history and anyone concerned about economic inequality, Veblen’s classic treatise is timelier today than ever.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

  Authentic influence is about more than creating a strong initial connection--it’s about sustaining professional relationships long after an agreement has been reached. 
  When others sense they are being pushed, their guard goes up. In business interactions, even if the person you are pitching to does comply with your requests, lingering resentment may undermine the relationship forever. So why do most books on influence still portray it as something you do to someone else to get your way? 
  Based on their commitment to listening, genuine engagement, and the pursuit of win-win outcomes, doctors and authors Mark Goulston and John Ullmen share a new method that business leaders can utilize to persuade others. 
  In Real Influence, Goulston and Ullem teach you how to:examine priorities,learn about the needs of key players,earn others’ attention,motivate others to hear more,and add value with question and actions. 
  Outdated approaches that portray influence as a means to get your way invites resistance and cynicism from those who recognize the techniques. Manipulative tactics fail to produce the mutual trust that sustains successful relationships. 
  Complete with examples of the steps in action and insights from real-world “power influencers,” Real Influence is a one-of-a-kind guide that showcases how being straight with everyone means winning for all.
