This book is of uneven merit. It contains a fairly good account of the attitudes towards the institution of interest through the ages. It also contains a fairly elaborate critique of the various theories of interest which have sought to justify a return on capital in the form of interest. However, its exposition of interest-free banking is marred by a number of deficiencies which seriously detract from the value of the book.
