Interest and Usury

quoted extensively in John Horvat II's [*Return to Order*](https://isidore.co/calibre/browse/book/5155), e.g., ch. 37 "The Backing of Money". Pertinent to Bitcoin's [controlled supply](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply), Fr. Bernard W. Dempsey, S.J., writes ([p. 210](https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011903997&seq=230)): > A fixed money supply, or a supply altered only in accord with objective and calculable criteria, is a necessary condition to a meaningful just price of money. In the preface by economist Schumpeter, he compares Fr. Dempsey's work in economics to Duhem's historical researches in physics. PDF_OCR version is the one scraped from HathiTrust.
