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.
