Peter Maurin (1877 – 1949) was a remarkable Catholic teacher and activist who wrote fascinating Easy Essays.

Six of these fall under the heading of Legalized Usury:

1. God and Mammon

3. Wealth-Producing Maniacs
4. Mortgaged
5. The Fallacy of Saving

Another quote by him says:
Interest doesn’t interest me
but principle does interest me.

Modern man maintains that enlightened self-interest
is the way to see that society governs itself
But the self-interest is no longer enlightened and
no one is remembering principle.
When interest becomes the only principle,
what we get is a selfish society.
