Usury Laws debated in 18th century pamphlet view
The excerpt analyzes Hon. Idol Whipple of Providence Rhode Island and Jeremy Bentham's arguments on Usury. It critiques Whipple for obscuring his meaning, argues money is a commodity with intrinsic exchange value, and asserts that fixing a universal interest rate distorts profits, harms capital access, and shifts wealth, urging recognition of varying profits across times and places.
