  It's a fallacy to discard certain (or all) religious practices as outdated. Furthermore the notions of right and wrong do not exist in an atheistic materialistic world view. This is by admission of well known atheist figures. Today's economy runs off of lending, yet people keep crying from the inequality and other messes we're in, and keep trying to patch them up without success, and that's because the root is rotten, so it will never be fixed. We can learn a few things from economies that didn't run off of lending. See: Islam, and read about the Islamic Golden Age. We already know that there was a time in Iraq where there were no people left to take charity because everyone was well off and honest. That would never happen in an economy based on lending.
