Swap boats for currencies, what has changed?
Discussion
I'm not saying lending is bad. I'm saying usury is. The difference is the property-ness of the lending. The economy can't ignore the time value of money, and I'm not proposing that. Lending at interest and lending ex-nihilo are both different from simply lending a thing and retaining ownership.
Pretty sure I replied to this but my note got lost somewhere 🤨.
So there is no difference, the difference comes if I try to “double rent” the same boat twice or more (ex-nihilo).
There's a difference. I've gotten into it plenty in the past and simply don't want to do all that writing again.
