Interesting point. Going all the way back to ummayad and rashidun times too? Or are u making the point that the utopian outcomes of sharia will always be limited by the imperfect agents running the system?
Discussion
Monetary history of rashudin times is something you cant find anywhere while ummayids where ruled by banksters with a muslim face. As i see it, the bankster removed all rashudin monetary history which created immense wealth after instigating the civil war to establish ummayad rule then burned all the wealth with endless wars under guise of spreading islam.
those same people went to madina the previous capital and murdered and burned many people and libraries.
Interesting view, so a monetary shariah will in some ways be unprecedented. Does financial corruption disqualify a system from being shariah compliant? In the case of the ummayads where they presumably maintained a gold standard and the general prohibition of interest?
what is financial corruption?
as for the ummaiyads, there were many minting houses but i assume the control of coin was maintained by the same people who the first Muslims revolted agaisnt.
I would consider anything that involves stealing wealth from people behind the curtains of a system.
Ahh interesting. Will have to look into it
