Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book presents an ethical and economic critique of usury and interest, defining what each of these comprises and examining the complex relationship between them. Positioned within a historical and literary context, it evaluates the influence of religion, philosophy, politics, and economics on the perception of usury and interest, particularly with reference to their effects on poverty and social inequality. The author argues that usury is an unethical practice that results from economic disparity and labor exploitation. Through an analysis of labor's right to the full value of its produce, the book suggests that interest can be ethically justified under certain conditions. It concludes by advocating for policies that promote equitable distribution of wealth and curb the harmful effects of usury, emphasizing the significance of preserving the inherent dignity and rights of workers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
