I am working on a book this week called "Abstract vs Real" It is about how our currencies have been divorced from their original Honorable construct. the tally.
It will share the invention of debt, its origins and its now abstract counterpart called Currency has been used to create written laws.
But the foundation of currency is much more simple than a ledger, it is an attempt to simply increase the capacity of next years harvest by leveraging something we all hold within.
Honorable doings by Honorable Actors.
In my book I share a bridge economy that will leverage the established desire to hoard in a productive and useful manner.
Once this hoarding is used in a manner for wellness, not illness we can start building the true parallel system of the two currency Economy.
The "Real" Currency. in charge of balancing life and its needs.
and the "Abstract" Currency. designed to be a limitless playground for the speculative market.
In my book I will share my ways of balancing these two elements with honorable and reasonable actions from all points of the society who wields the Hubris with Wisdom.

Decoloniality and Islamic Economics

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d3587181e100">In Islamic thought, the economy is considered an integral part of the spiritual expression of human consciousness in the mortal world. Islamic economics, as a modern discipline, is related to the anti-colonial movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Scholars of the time envisioned an economic system different from that of the colonising powers and found the epistemological foundations for one in the Islamic tradition. Although Islamic banking has come far from its inception, Islamic economic philosophy has become a niche categorisation in the larger global economic order. Discourses in Islamic economics have been constructed against neoliberal economics, within the ontology and epistemology of modernity. The Islamisation of knowledge project has utilised a singular reliance on fiqh to halal-wash orthodox neoliberal economic institutions, products, and relations to assimilate them into Islamic economics in a superficial “Islamic” dressing of neoliberal economic paradigms. This paper argues that a decolonial stance in Islamic economics and a focus on epistemologies indigenous to Islamic discourse can eliminate this issue. Decoloniality in Islamic economics must counter the traditional dominance of European episteme and the financial interest in capitalist economics within the Islamic world by norm-setting entities such as the state of Saudi Arabia. </p>

It seems that for me, if I choose to be a survivalist individualist person, genuinely based on hardships and effort in trading, then I follow the Chinese way. If I want to be a narcissist who doesn't feel how those poor people feel in the streets every day, making fun of others and using freedom of speech as justification at the expense of respect for others, then U.S. ideologies are better for me. It seems that the Chinese way represents real trading for me; it is based on efforts and hardships, not on control, vendor lock-in, narcissistic reputability, and brands.

That insight became the foundation for an economic dynamic of sound finances that crowds out poverty and taxation. Since then, I’ve spent over three years writing it out, refining it, and preparing it for peer-reviewed publication. As a layperson, I also hired an academic editing service to help polish it for submission.

More than 3 years ago, after learning we were expecting our third child, I had what I now consider my first truly original idea. With the life goal of “at least 3 kids” quietly fulfilled, something deeper surfaced—an insight about value and economics.

8️⃣ Déjacque argued that true liberty required communal ownership, rejecting individual property rights. His philosophy shifted libertarianism toward collectivist determinism.

"Behavioural and heuristic models are as-if models too – and that’s ok"

An overdue discussion and analysis by Ivan Moscati.
https://doi.org/10.1017/S0266267123000093

So far, I am not sure his suggested 'as-if mentalism' is helpful or anything other than a new muddled term.... but its a very long paper and I probably need to read it again.
