The faces you see every day - tired, stressed, worried - are not weak people. They are people trapped in a system designed to keep them that way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePoverty is not an accident. Suffering is not inevitable. The exhaustion of billions of human beings - in a world that produces more than enough for everyone - is the predictable, measurable, and preventable outcome of specific systems built by specific people for specific purposes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy People Suffer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a comprehensive civilizational diagnosis. Drawing on economics, political science, psychology, history, and the remarkable wisdom of the Quran, this book maps - with unflinching honesty - the full architecture of human misery: \u003cbr\u003e- The debt-based monetary system that mathematically guarantees poverty for the many\u003cbr\u003e- The captured state that serves the powerful while performing service to the people\u003cbr\u003e- The media machinery that manufactures both consent and confusion\u003cbr\u003e- The education system engineered to produce obedient workers, not free thinkers\u003cbr\u003e- The deceptions that come from every direction - false ideologies, nationalism, corrupt religion, and manufactured desire\u003cbr\u003e- The damage the system inflicts not only on bodies and bank accounts, but on the human soul itself - turning people against each other, rewarding cruelty, and making the suffering of others a source of quiet satisfaction\u003cbr\u003e- And the truth that even the wealthy are not spared - trapped in their own gilded cage of paranoia, isolation, and emptiness \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut this book does not stop at diagnosis. It points to a way out - grounded in the Quranic institutions of Bayt al-Mal, zakat, waqf, and muakhat, and practical enough to begin building today, in any community, with whatever is at hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePoverty is the thing that should not be. This book explains why it exists - and what it will take to end it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Chin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798185090053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.37d","brand":"Glenn Chin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174107455743,"sku":"9798185090053","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-people-suffer-glenn-chin-9798185090053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
