William Carey — Economist?

March 19, 2010 by mattperman

From The Legacy of William Carey: A Model for the Transformation of a Culture:

William Carey … introduced the idea of savings banks to India, to fight the all-pervasive social evil of usury. Carey believed that God, being righteous, hated usury, and that lending at interest rates of 36 to 72 percent made investment, industry, commerce, and economic development impossible.
