This review is from: The scholastic analysis of usury (Hardcover)
While I will not pretend that I understood and comprehended all the material in this carefully-researched book, I did find that the thread of the discussion continued to hold my interest, even though I was sometimes annoyed by the persistance of some scholastic writers in arguments which were unconvincing to me. This book is very fair and balanced in its consideration of this intricate question, and his conclusion ("the theoretical structure they (scholastic scholars) erected was not a consistent piece, but it encouraged risk-taking investment and charity to the poor; its practical success may be measured by a comparison between the conditions of credit in medieval Europe and those in classical Greece or China or India.") is persuasive. This is a worthwhile and impressively-researched book.
