Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of charging interest on loans has been controversial since it was first mentioned in early recorded history. Lending is a powerful economic tool, vital to the development of society but it can also lead to disaster if left unregulated. Prohibitions against excessive interest, or usury, have been found in almost all societies since antiquity. Whether loans were made in kind or in cash, creditors often were accused of beggar-thy-neighbor exploitation when their lending terms put borrowers at risk of ruin. While the concept of usury reflects transcendent notions of fairness, its definition has varied over time and place: Roman law distinguished between simple and compound interest, the medieval church banned interest altogether, and even Adam Smith favored a ceiling on interest. But in spite of these limits, the advantages and temptations of lending prompted financial innovations from margin investing and adjustable-rate mortgages to credit cards and microlending. In Beggar Thy Neighbor, financial historian Charles R. Geisst tracks the changing perceptions of usury and debt from the time of Cicero to the most recent financial crises. This comprehensive economic history looks at humanity's attempts to curb the abuse of debt while reaping the benefits of credit. Beggar Thy Neighbor examines the major debt revolutions of the past, demonstrating that extensive leverage and debt were behind most financial market crashes from the Renaissance to the present day. Geisst argues that usury prohibitions, as part of the natural law tradition in Western and Islamic societies, continue to play a key role in banking regulation despite modern advances in finance. From the Roman Empire to the recent Dodd-Frank financial reforms, usury ceilings still occupy a central place in notions of free markets and economic justice.

Excerpt: ... unchanged, ) limit the rate of interest to six per cent. per annum. They provide that if, in any action on a contract for the payment of money it shall appear upon special plea, that illegal interest has been, directly or indirectly, reserved or taken, the Plaintiff shall forfeit three times the whole amount of interest so reserved or taken, and full costs of suit, and shall have judgment for the balance only, after making these deductions. So also the borrower upon usury may bring his suit against the lender, in law or chancery, * and recover back threefold the amount of interest by him paid, and in these cases both parties to the suit may be sworn as witnesses.t SUMMARY. This general historical sketch establishes several important facts: -- 1. Usury laws have almost always existed, and legislators have, in all ages, manifested a strong desire to meddle with the contract of borrowing and lending. 2. The laws have always been disobeyed and evaded, -- from which it is evident that they have been regarded as oppressive, by both lenders and borrowers. 3. They have always increased the ratio of interest; -- and this they have done -- First. By increasing the risks of the loan. Second. By driving timid and scrupulous lenders, and their capital out of the market; -- thus reducing the number of lenders and the supply of money capital. Third. By rendering the business infamous, and thus inducing lenders to indemnify themselves by exorbitant profits, for the loss of their reputations. * In England the Courts of Chancery do not enforce the usury laws; but the borrower is merely absolved from paying more than lawful interest. (Exparte Scrivener, 3. Ves. and Bea. 19.) It is, therefore, manifest that they regard these laws as inequitable. t If any
