Description

In this episode we’re joined by Umar Nasser, a junior NHS doctor training in psychiatry and co-founder of Rational Religion, which shows the relevance of Islamic teachings to solve today's problems. The platform has a particular focus on Islamic economics, both from a contemporary and historical perspective.

This is the second episode in a two part series on 'An introduction to Islamic economics'

Part 1 (Episode 2): We review capitalism, socialism, the banking sector and their impact on society. We also discuss the role of debt in exacerbating wealth inequalities.

Part 2 (Episode 3): We explore solutions to wealth inequalities and hear from Umar about Islamic economics, a 1,400 system that offers the best of capitalism and socialism. We discuss why and how the answer to today's pressing issues sit within the Islamic economics framework and what it has to offer to those building the new economy.
