Repeal of Usury Laws Calls for Absolute Change
Speech by Serjeant Onalow on May 23 1816 moves to bring in a bill repealing laws regulating interest on private loans with an absolute, unqualified repeal. He cites medieval and ecclesiastical condemnations of interest and argues current restrictions are absurd, mischievous, and unjust, rejecting modifications and urging total abolition. The speech traces historical hostility to usury from Lateran and Vienna councils to church fathers and early economists.
