DOWNLOAD THE BOOK FOR FREE: https://prize.org.pk/Welcome back to another episode of Thought Behind Things!While the world is distracted by AI revolutions and geopolitical wars, a massive 100-year monetary reset is quietly unfolding globally. Today, we sit down with Kaanit Khalilullah, author of Breaking the Trap, to critically dismantle the modern banking system and understand why the global debt machine is reaching its breaking point.We go far beyond basic definitions of interest (Riba) and dive deep into the actual mechanics of how banks create money out of thin air, why sovereign debt is crushing developing economies, and what a radical transition away from fractional reserve banking actually looks like.In this highly critical discussion, we cover:The Ray Dalio Warning: Why the global debt cycle has reached a point of no return and what the upcoming monetary reset means for your savings.The Illusion of Money: How commercial banks create 95% of the money in the system, and why the cash in your checking account is essentially an illusion.The Pain of Transition: I push back hard on the realities of shifting to a "100% Full Reserve" system. What happens to businesses when multi-million rupee credit lines vanish overnight?The Shadow Economy: Learning from China and Turkey—why drying up bank liquidity often leads to unregulated loan sharks and short-term economic pain.Stablecoins & The GENESIS Act: Is the US already initiating a monetary reset by enforcing full reserves on digital currencies?Let us know in the comments below: Do you think a 100% reserve banking system is practically implementable in a country of 250 million people, or is the pain of transition too high? Read Kaanit's book and bring your toughest critiques for Round 2!
