Time for change
Political stability is of the utmost importance for economical development.
Many things are about to change for a long time. In whatever position you are,
maybe the following steps might help a little:
 | Open discussions about how to stabilize political situations, talking is
better then fighting. |
| When you can vote: vote for stability. |
| Don't let far-away nations interfear, they can't help.
Try to solve
the problems with you neighbours who know your situation well. When you are
not successful: try again! (and ask other neighbours to help you). |
| It is not a question of democracy yes or no, or sharia yes or no: it is
a matter of finding solutions together. |
| Western countries should stop talking about foreign
fraud and make an end to their own bonus/ultrahigh salary culture. |
| Together we could address things like fraud,
bonuses, embezzlements, greed. |
| To western countries: start learning from other
cultures, like Islamic banking (PLS = Profit & Loss Sharing). |
| To non western countries: start stabilizing
political systems. |
| In general: start accepting different cultures. |
| Be aware of the poor, they suffer more than others. |
| Special to banks/other financial institutes: don't forget this (big) group!
Microcredits: YES! |
| C.K. Prahalad (The Fortune at the Bottom of the
Pyramid): "if we stop thinking of the poor as victims or as a burden and start
recognizing them as resilient and creative entrepreneurs and value-conscious
consumers, a whole new world of opportunity will open up." |
| Overcome differences, now it's a very good time. |
