Popes and Bankers, Jack Cashill

If the history of Usury and how it transcended into the economic conditions of today interests you, then read this book! If you want answers to specific questions regrading what happened as of late, then you'll need to look elsewhere. Popes and Bankers is written well, although I found it hard to read, especially at the beginning.

There is no doubt the author did his research as the book is loaded with quotes and facts from various outside sources. He even injects his cynical comments which fit at times. Other times they added to the drawn out explanations which were already tough to get through without the one liners.

After reading the book I feel more educated on the history of usury, but don't feel as though I have any answers to the many questions I had.
