Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nothing about endless capitalist growth is normal. Across thousands of years of human history, most cultures have placed explicit social and moral restrictions on economic growth, with charging interest scorned as benefiting from another's hardship and profit-making as divisive. So how did interest rates, monetary gains, and return on investment come to rule our modern world? Though most economic histories tell this story as one of overcoming superstition in favor of social progress, Losing Interest explains how the concept of "interest" had to be continuously rehabilitated over six centuries of European colonial expansion, transforming profit from a mortal sin into a business model. From early Medici innovations in banking to the development of insurance schemes in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, our current economic system was built on legal and financial tools that abstract capital from the ongoing reality of deception, theft, and mass murder at its core. With wit and lyricism, anthropologist Scott W. Schwartz makes a clear, commonsense appeal for our shared wellbeing against capitalism's nonsensical demand for widespread suffering to produce the mounting wealth of the few. In the spirit of David Graeber, Thomas Piketty, and Kohei Saito, Losing Interest serves as a prequel to contemporary degrowth literature, illuminating the history and mechanics of how interest has risen to take from the poor and give to the rich.…

First Edition. Early sleaze, or, as the publisher put it, a "Highly Readable Novel." From the jacket copy: "From Tony the lesbian, she learned of the strange, exotic, frightening fascination of abnormal relations. From Bruno the pimp, she learned of the utter depths of degradation. From Clare, she learned of the terror, the hopeless despair of dope." Includes a lengthy (non-erotic) episode detailing the historical Ohio State Penitentiary fire of 1930, apparently heavily inspired by Chester Himes' "To What Red Hell?" Credited to both Les Scott and Robert Tracy on the front cover; Scott's name alone appears on the title page. Tracy was the pseudonym of Alvin Schwartz, best remembered as a Golden Age comic book writer and creator of Bizarro Superman. . Hardcover. 8vo. Grey cloth in blue dust jacket, lightly scuffed along edge and corners. Small closed tear to lower edge of front panel; chipping to spine ends. Very good in like jacket. 184pp. Very good in a very good jacket.…
