    Money is power in a form transferable over time and space.

    Long before capitalism, people considered money to be the root of all evil. Many religions have restrictions on what can be done with money, especially asking for interest.

      Weird coming from a religion that said the root of all evil was also a fruit.

      Restrictions on lending can be explained by the fact that when those rules were made, almost no one knew math much better than counting on their fingers.
