A Discourse Upon Usury

Written in 1572 and originally published in 1962, this book is a reprint of A Discourse uppon Usurye by waye of Dialoge and Oracions by Dr. Thomas Wilson. The book is typical of one side in the discussion of credit and money-lending, which was a characteristic phase in the early history of financial capitalism, and which, after the enclosures, provided the principal economic controversy of the sixteenth century.
