I’ve always found the concept of interest on a loan or debt astounding. I first thought about as a young teenager, having read ‘The Merchant of Venice’.

If somehow humanity could overcome that one trait, we’d all be a lot better off (and I don’t mean financially!)
“An equal pound of your flesh, to be cut off and taken in what part of your body pleaseth me”
