Drawing on ancient instruments like the Adesha (an early bill of exchange) and the Shreni (merchant guilds), the book uncovers how ethical finance, trust-based credit systems, and self-regulating business communities enabled long-distance trade without modern institutions. It presents a unique interdisciplinary narrative at the intersection of economic history, ethical philosophy, and sustainable finance. It highlights how ancient Indian financial systems prioritized community welfare, ethical conduct (Dharma), and environmental stewardship—values increasingly sought in today’s ESG investing, green banking, and inclusive economic models.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCombining historical evidence with modern financial analysis, this work reimagines ancient practices in the context of climate finance, digital payments, corporate governance, and impact investing. It offers practical insights for financial professionals, scholars, policymakers, and students looking for ethically grounded, historically inspired approaches to contemporary financial challenges. This book is ideal for readers interested in sustainable finance, economic ethics, development studies, and ancient civilizations. It invites business leaders, researchers, and students to rediscover the timeless wisdom of one of the world’s earliest economic hubs—and to use it to shape a more equitable and sustainable future.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSyeda Tayyaba Ijaz is a researcher at the International Islamic University Islamabad, Pakistan, and an Internal Auditor in a leading engineering firm.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis title is currently being reviewed.
