“All these people told us not to lend money at interest: and lending money at interest – what we call investment – is the basis of our whole system…I should not have been honest if I had not told you that three great civilizations had agreed…in condemning the very thing on which we have based our whole life…There is one bit of advice given us by the ancient heathen Greeks and by the Jews in the Old Testament and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed.”
– C S Lewis, from his MERE CHRISTIANITY
