The mankind was very well able to enslave, cast into poverty, murder, plunder, and rape people even during the period when banking was more or less explicitly forbidden by the church. I mean, people will find ways of doing these whether or not there is a banking system around. Egyptians were able to build pyramids without a banking system of any meaningfulness, and I don't think the workers building them were too happy about getting to be a part of building of a miracle.

It's really strange to think that if the banking system and everything related was to suddenly be abolished it'd somehow magically end inequality. Or even dramatically reduce it.
