folks, we don't talk about military history all that much on the show except as an aspect of the overall narratives and histories we tell. however, we do sometimes have to talk about it specifically because it is both interesting and necessary to understanding things. it's not the end-all, be-all, most important thing ever as it is sometimes portrayed but, ya know, you can't fully enforce your politics from the throne, now can you? that monopoly of violence is there for a reason. anyway, we start a

Geisst所著《借錢：從利息、債務到金融商品，2000年的演變》一書，我們來了解這段長達兩千年的金融倫理演變史。 本集中我們會談到的內容主要是文藝復興以前對利息的觀念轉變，是倫理與經濟現實的妥協與衝突的過程。 在古羅馬與中世紀時期，放款者往往在「救急聖人」與「掠奪罪人」的雙重評價中擺盪。
