““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.””
Sounds like the sophistry we here today from ‘liberals’.
“the birth of money from money” is inaccurate. The USE of the money- it’s combination with hard work, wisdom, knowledge, insight- is what ‘births’ more money.
It’s like describing animal husbandry through only one sex (speaking of ‘liberal’ views...)
The Bible says it best: “Be fruitful and multiply.”
I think the only people I know of who disapprove of Interest, are Muslims.
