> I.e. the instrument of today's national currencies are entirely detached from what used to be considered money, which was what the concept of usury applied to. True. Which is another core problem. We should go back to proper money, not what we have today. Let's take a step back. Why did the governments decide to detach money from gold and other metals? It's because they want to be able to print money at will to cover their ever increasing debts, due to interest. What effect does this have on the average person? They work hard to save money, only to have their savings devalued because of someone else's greed and incompetence. This is not sustainable.
