博客來Usury the Scourge of Nations, written by James Harvey, Vice-President of the Anti-Monopoly Association in Liverpool, presents a scathing critique of usury and the imposition of interest on money. Addressed to the Land and Labour League in 1870, the book argues that money interest constitutes an everlasting tax levied by the annuitant class on labor. Harvey passionately denounces the detrimental effects of usury on nations, asserting that it undermines economic stability and perpetuates inequality. This work offers insights into 19th-century economic thought and provides a historical perspective on debates surrounding finance, labor, and the role of government in regulating financial systems. Its enduring relevance lies in its exploration of fundamental questions about economic justice and the balance of power between capital and labor.
