Usury: A Scriptural, Ethical And Economic View is a book written by Calvin Elliott and originally published in 1902. The book examines the practice of usury, which is the lending of money at an excessively high rate of interest, from a scriptural, ethical, and economic perspective. Elliott argues that usury is condemned in the Bible and that it is an unethical practice that harms both the borrower and the lender. He also explores the economic consequences of usury, including its negative impact on society as a whole. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of usury. Elliott begins by defining usury and examining its history, before moving on to discuss its moral implications. He then explores the economic effects of usury, including its impact on inflation and the distribution of wealth. Throughout the book, Elliott draws on a range of sources, including the Bible, classical literature, and economic theory. He also provides numerous examples of usury in action, both in historical and contemporary contexts. Overall, Usury: A Scriptural, Ethical And Economic View is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of a controversial topic. It offers a unique perspective on the practice of usury and its impact on society, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in economics, ethics, or religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
