520 |a Usury, charging a higher interest rate than thought by some to be “fair,” has had and still has, a bad press. Historically, it was heavily punished. It was then, and all too often is now, thought to be exploitative.

The present paper is an attempt to justify the practice of charging interest on loans, at any rate agreeable to both borrowers and lenders.
