Title: 11 dollar bills but you only got 10
Review: I took a senior level banking course at university, but I learned more from reading this book! Hoskins shows how the nature of interest is a debt trap - If only $10 exist, and you borrow that $10 with the promise to pay back $11, then you have agreed to the impossible. You may have land, cattle, etc, but because you don't have that 11th dollar, the usurer will end up with everything. The borrower is servant to the lender.The book traces the history of usury banking from ancient times to present day and how it inevitably leads to the decline of nations and to wars.One of the best books I have ever read!
