i see you and i are not insult each other for once, not bad,
i am UK educated, from bachelor days till beyond, was a trader, but i realised i was trading haram, was doing s&p 500 e-minis, forex, oil, and german bund derivatives-basically trading german interest bearing instruments likes bunds, left and changed to pure old economic consulting, after i learned what i was doing was not halal, the prophet SAw cursed the 4 types of people involved in riba, i have been asked to teach but i dont like grading papers, i am also involved and specialise in Islamic time preference theorem,
in a nut shell i am an economic theorist, i am the geek behind government policy decisions, they need someone to take your polices, test these policies through theorems and axioms, most people specialise in one section like labour or monetary theory, i am the geek who specialises in multiple fields so when i devise to test theorems i know about inflation, unemployment, investment, monetary and fiscal polices and - most economist stick to one field and do really well but a theorist has to know everything or all fields in his domain
a theorist is the guy who sits down and imagines how a rise in interest rates to 5 % from 3% will impact government revenues,exports, borrowing, impacts on home buildings , job creation, inflation, unemployment etc in 2 or 3 years time, so they can devise policies towards that
economics is a twin brother of maths both in the school of logic, we take the boring geeky useless maths and turn it into praxeology, so we can ascertain how people will respond/act to state economic policies, in very easy to understand language,
thats for work, but privately i am working on Islamic time preference theorem that can help islamic banks lend money with out riba and also benefit/profit, and in case you are wondering how on earth is that possible, it is, if the subjective utility and monetary- policy of a nation is designed right, a muslim bank can actually lend 1 dollar and get back 1 dollar and make a profit. with our riba and its wholly possible. currently writing a book on how this can be done and thus dismantle the idea that existed for 200 years that Muslim nations cannot grow large economically with out riba,
