Excerpt from Mutual Banking: Showing the Radical Deficiency of the Present Circulating Medium and the Advantages of a Free Currency
All these theories are in opposition to the orthodox economy; the first denies that interest cannot be lowered by changes in the currency, the second denies monopoly, and the third denies the necessity of a metallic basis.
It is gratifying to observe these tendencies, and in the hope that they may soon become more marked, and to help carry them to their logical conclusion, this work is republished.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of usury, the practice of lending money at exorbitant interest rates, throughout history. The author argues that usury is a systemic problem rooted in the artificial value created by the use of gold and silver as currency. This value, he contends, allows lenders to charge excessive interest rates, leading to the exploitation of borrowers and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. The author proposes a solution to this problem by advocating for a currency system based on real property. This system, he believes, would eliminate the artificial value associated with gold and silver and make usury impossible. The book's insights offer a valuable perspective on the history and consequences of usury, making it an essential read for anyone interested in economics, finance, or social justice.
