When East Meets West Episode 16

In this episode Uncouth Barbarian educates us on what usury is and why it’s a bad thing. Our current debt-driven economy teeters on a precipice, and we will need to envision new economies in the wake of our old one. We discuss Islamic models of financing and talk about the political consequences of usury. (Spoiler alert: it leaves you a lapdog to your lender).
