Because the subject becomes startlingly relevant when one realises that, originally, usury was defined as taking any interest or benefit from loaning or renting all resources not just money. Every aspect of business today, whether involved in buying a mortgage or handling one’s salary - let alone one’s investments - is tied up with usury in that original sense."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderreligioneconomic ethicsculturebusiness ethicsEconomic ethicsCultural ethicsReligious ethicsEthics of economic systemsCultural/intercultural ethicsSecularisation and ethicsComparative religious ethicsPreprint
