Publisher's Synopsis
Islam's ban on interest is sometimes seen as outdated and inapplicable in the modern world. Why Islam Forbids Interest shows how interest is responsible for some of the most urgent problems of the modern world, protecting and enormously increasing the wealth of bankers and billionaires at the expensive of the economies they prey upon.
Islam's alternatives are not outdated; they are highly futuristic in that they entirely reverse the dynamic of interest so that wealth transfer takes place from the richest to the poorest, preventing today's obscene income inequalities and the economic and civilizational dead-end that the modern world has arrived at.
