Excerpt from Economics: Lesson 9
In business, _a creditor does not usually extend credit unless he is satisfied of a debtor's ability to pay, or unless he has some security other than the latter's mere word. A bank when making a loan usually insists that the loan shall be used for what we call reproductive purposes. As the celebrated French economist, Leroy Beaulieu, says: Credit should not be a simple anticipation upon future and nu certain wealth; it should have for-its basis a thing real and actual - goods which are finished and which have not been sold; goods which, having been sold, have not yet been paid for; goods oven, which are in process of manufacture, and of which all the elements have been gotten together; an enterprise which is not terminated but which is alread;r in a certain degree of advancement.
