  • Its important to not only feel nostalgic and remorseful about those time, but we should also understand how we got here, and realize the role of banks dealing with Usury loans (Riba) in getting us to this point (and seems it will still keep going further).

    I wish I could find data on Inflation and interest rate in Jordan from those times so I can make a chart showing the correlation between interest rates and inflation.
