Breaking the Trap of Debt, Inflation, Interest and Poverty

The book by Qanit Khalilullah and Sohaib Umar offers a critique of the modern fractional-reserve banking system, arguing that it is the primary engine behind chronic economic instability, inflation, and wealth inequality. The authors propose a radical macroeconomic transition to a full-reserve banking model. This proposal is specifically tailored as a structural panacea for Pakistan’s crippling debt crisis, while simultaneously being framed as a genuine path to establishing a Shari’ah-compliant Islamic financial system.
