The book Risk Sharing in Finance: The Islamic Finance Alternative (Askari, Iqbal, Krichne and Mirakhor, 2012) seeking to draw the general spirit of the Islamic financial system, explaining its differences with the conventional system (in roots and foundations and also In functions and consequences) as well as drawing its main building blocks in a deep and fundamental approach. In this book, "risk sharing" is introduced as the central concept of the Islamic financial system. Risk sharing system by linking the real sector to the financial sector, prevents the “financialization” and the occurrence of successive crises; On the other hand, due to the emphasis on risk sharing, it will increase financial inclusion and consequently, the welfare of the community. From the authors' point of view, this system has not been realized yet and the financial system in Islamic countries is far from its ideal situation due to the lack of some institutional prerequisites. In the critical review of the book, there is not much criticism of the main idea, but there are some weaknesses in the processing of some concepts and relations, as well as the explanation of some philosophical foundations, consequences and functions, and the implementation of the ideal Islamic system.

The global financial markets crisis of 2007 and its economic consequences provoked widespread protests and riots in many countries, which in North Africa led to a change of political system. The study and analysis of these events became the basis for the compilation of the book From Crisis to Collapse by Dr. Bashirieh. The present article, which was prepared with the intention of reviewing this book, is organized in three sections: introducing the work, place of the work in the Iranian publishing space and among the other works of the author, and evaluation of form and content of the work. In this book, we are faced with weighty and revised prose and a coherent and uniform text. The theoretical framework of the work is the same theory that the author has formulated for the analysis of revolutions and the process of transition to democracy in his previous works. The organization of the chapters is not done in a clear and distinct way. The title of the work does not reflect the main content of the work completely. Despite the emphasis on the title of the work, the dimensions of sustainability and vulnerability of political systems are less studied inside the text.
