1st edition. "Argues that humanity faces a trio of chronic crises - economic, ecological, and in the provision of welfare services - caused by various connected forms of usury. Following the religious teaching of Christianity and Islam, which have traditionally condemned usury as the fundamental source of social injustice, he defines usury as the unequal allocation of risk. He then offers practical proposals, delineating how usury may be reduced or eliminated, showing that the solution to each crisis depends on solving the others." Pp.xvi/96. Paperback. VG.

"Usury does not mean high interest. It means any interest, however low, demanded for an unproductive loan. It is not only immoral (on which account it has been condemned by every moral code - Pagan - Mahommedan - Catholic) but it is ultimately destructive of society. It has only been the rule of our commerce to take usury since the break-up of Europe following on the Reformation. Usury will destroy our society, but meanwhile there is no escape from it.".
