Usury

Aristotle Philosopher

"Money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural."

Karl Marx Philosopher, Economist

"Although usury is itself a form of credit in its bourgeoisified form, the form adapted to capital , in its pre-bourgeois form it is rather the expression of the lack of credit ."

Samuel Johnson Lexicographer, Essayist, Critic

"The synonyme of usury is ruin."

Karl Marx Philosopher, Economist

"Usury lives in the pores of production, as it were, just as the gods of Epicurus lived in the space between the worlds."
