Continuation
The
author writes:
Divine
prohibition of usury, is a common feature of the three monotheistic religions.
It
does not, in fact, prohibit every return on:
§ capital;
§ or trade.
Its
purpose is to protect the weaker contracting party.
Some
scholars state that, since capital does not have a stable value over time and
space, its price cannot be fixed.
But
it must take account the actual economic benefits the debtor has enjoyed upon
its usage.
Therefore,
there must be a link between:
§ the results
of the usage of capital;
§ and
the amount paid for it.
