Putting Everything in its Proper Place

Putting Everything in its Proper Place by Kamarudin Abu Bakar – A Meditation on Truth, Systems, and Modern Economics.

In an era where global financial systems feel increasingly detached from human values, Putting Everything in its Proper Place offers a profound and necessary pause. This is not just a book about finance; it is a meditation on how the systems we build—economic, institutional, and personal—shape our understanding of truth and our place in the world.

Beyond Banking Technicalities At its core, Kamarudin Abu Bakar grapples with the concept of riba. Rather than treating it as a mere banking regulation, the author uses it as a lens to examine the logic of modern economics. He challenges the worldview that normalizes exploitation and questions whether contemporary “Islamic” institutions truly offer an alternative or simply replicate the structures they claim to oppose.

A Journey of Inquiry Drawing on decades of leadership in IT, telecommunications, and banking, the author takes readers on a journey from Kelantan to Manchester, and from high-stakes boardrooms to deep philosophical inquiry. This is a book of questions rather than prescriptions—reflections on authenticity, the limits of reform, and the courage required to define success on one’s own terms.
