Excerpt from The Ethic of Usury and Interest: A Study in Inorganic Socialism
The abolition of the Usury Laws, which has only been consummated within the last half century, has raised the presumption that Usury itself was then abolished - in other words, that Capital was, thenceforward, morally entitled to whatever share of the produce of Industry which it could appropriate.

Paperback. Zustand: New. 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.
