Quite astonishing that in your search for the history of insurance, you managed to look up "Contractum_trinius" and "Vix_Pervenit" on Wikipedia, and yet failed to look up "Insurance" and look in the History section.
Insurance pre-dates Christianity by a considerable margin.
- nwzpaperman 14y agoPerhaps it's possible I didn't google "history of insurance." Thorough reader you are, McWiki! "history of contemporary insurance" Merchant insurance was to protect against real property losses. Contemporary insurance is designed to allocate financial losses for financial products (non-real).
- phaemon 14y agoPerhaps you should have googled it before telling us that it was invented by the Catholic church. Nice try moving the goalposts from health insurance (you know, the topic at hand), but still wrong...try more googling.
- nwzpaperman 14y agoI will put it in layman's terms for you. Real property protection vs. Financial asset (contemporary legal constructs) loss allocation Get it?
- phaemon 14y agoSure I get it. You think loan insurance was invented by the Catholic church (which is wrong) and you think that pre-dated health insurance (which is also wrong). Thanks for putting it in layman's terms.
