#Islamic_Finance:
Applying a fixed price for money (interest rate) is unfair for
investors and for the society. Islam prohibits the fact that a borrower
carries the total risks of the failure while the lender receive a fixed
income out of the venture regardless it is a total failure or a total
success.
Someone might clain that the lender bear a minimum risk
of default. We know that 70% of startup fails during the first three
years of operations. We know also that the default rates on interest
bearing rates is no more than 2% in good times and 6% in bad times
(Federal reserve delinguishy rate).
Hence, faireness is not established and the entrepreneur cost is way beyond his capacity.
