CURRENTLY: This is a un-organized collection of my writings and talks on money & banking, especially from an Islamic perspective. I hope to organize it some day, but this is a difficult task, because the issue is quite complex. Volunteers would be welcome to help, but would need to work hard to understand the complexities of the issue.
