Synopsis
Explore a detailed, scriptural, and economic case against usury.
This work argues that the practice harms the poor and challenges the common good, offering a clear framework to understand money, credit, and debt through history, law, and ethics.
In these pages, the author blends biblical perspective with economic reasoning to show how usury has shaped laws, social welfare, and personal fortunes. It presents a long view of debt, credit, and the responsibilities of both lenders and borrowers, while examining how policy and morality intersect in financial life.- Clear definitions of usury, interest, and their historical meanings.
- Arguments about how debt can affect individuals, families, and communities.
- Comparisons of ancient and modern laws, and how they shape real-world outcomes.
- Proposals for financial reform and public policy to reduce burdens on the vulnerable.
