A World Without Poverty: The Qur'anic Model
The Qur'anic Model for Fairness, Value and Dignity
What if poverty is not an unavoidable reality, but the result of the systems we have chosen to build?
In an age of unprecedented technological progress and global productivity, millions still struggle for basic dignity. A World Without Poverty invites readers to reconsider whether scarcity is truly the problem-or whether the deeper issue lies in the way modern economies define value, wealth, and human worth.
Drawing from the ethical principles found in the Qur'an, Glenn Chin explores a vision of society rooted in fairness, responsibility, and human dignity. Rather than treating wealth as the ultimate measure of value, the Qur'anic model emphasizes justice, compassion, and the shared obligation to ensure that no one is left behind.
This book examines how those principles challenge many assumptions of modern economic systems and encourages readers to imagine a social order where material security and human dignity are not dependent on financial accumulation.
Inside this thoughtful exploration, readers will discover:
- How the Qur'anic vision of justice addresses poverty and inequality
- Why dignity should never depend on financial status
- The moral foundations of fairness and social responsibility
- How ethical traditions can inform modern economic thinking
- Why a humane economic future requires rethinking value itself
Calm, reflective, and forward-looking, A World Without Poverty does not present a rigid economic blueprint. Instead, it offers a philosophical and ethical perspective on how societies might move toward a world where fairness, dignity, and shared responsibility guide the organization of economic life.
In a time of growing inequality and technological change, the question becomes urgent:
Can humanity build an economic system worthy of the dignity it claims to defend?
