Usury Laws and Clerical Influence Across Nations
The article argues that strict usury laws failed to control money prices, noting harsher penalties did not curb lending. It critiques ecclesiastical power in England and Rome for shaping legislation and cites extreme rates in Mogland and France as examples of enforcement misalignment with economic interests.

England Usury Laws Through History and Reform
The narrative traces English usury law from harsh medieval penalties to modern contract-based rates under Victoria and later monarchs. It credits economic growth to flexible rates, cites Henry VIII and Anne, and quotes Lord Fayne and Hume on trade and interest as a state barometer. A Chicago library opening and Nevada Senate coalition efforts are noted, followed by a New York transit bill and a Indiana yard accident with injuries.

Passengers crowd forecastle and lash themselves to dining, while crew and diverse travelers—lascars Wallahs Jews Singapore Malays Azabs—seek shade, even as ladies bring beds on deck and heat induces peasants to wipe perspiration and faint.
