@pre@boing.worldDaniel prince from Once Bitten podcast on usury and banking.
Usury is lending money, charging interest.
Aristotle thought money was for use not for interest. He thought usury unnatural.
Many religious quotes saying not to extract interest.
"Money is power" but this is not gold or paper money. It's credit. Infinite money with interest. Which breaks everything.
Imagine a mortgage. Prices of homes inflated by available interest. You have to give a deposit but the bank creates ten times that in new money! Who gets rich here? Banks are printing money. That inflates prices and dilutes money purchase power.
Not just mortgages. Business loans, repair loans, global scale of all of this.
Not only did they create that money, the charge interest on the money they created! And if you don't pay, they take the house.
One judge found this all illegal, but was soon overruled and found mysteriously dead.
What can you do eh? Only opt out. Don't take loans. Use a money that stores value instead of losing it.
