Usury is a recurring idea. Usury is the economic practice of charging interest on loans. However, modern readers may not be aware that throughout most of world history, usury was strongly condemned by most world religions. Condemnation of usury in principle is still practiced in Islamic countries but today most world religions permit usury, although there are universal laws barring the charging of excessive interest.
