Belloc Definition of Capitalism
Capitalism ... is ... the ownership by a few of the springs of life

Economic Oligarchy Belloc
If liberty of purchase and of sale, of mortgage and of inheritance was restricted, it was restricted with the social object of preventing the growth of an economic oligarchy which could exploit the rest of the com- munity. The restraints upon liberty were restraints designed for the preservation of liberty ; and every action of Mediaeval Society, from the flower of the Middle Ages to the approach of their catastrophe, was directed towards the establishment of a State in which men should be economically free through the possession of capital and of land.

Henry VIII brought usury to England
The canons of the Roman Catholic Church prohibited all usance or interest. The great French jurisconsult, Pothier, decides that the minutest coin beyond the sum lent, if added to the loan when repaid, constituted usury, and stamped the contract with crime. A legal rate of interest was first fixed in England in 1545, by the statute 37 Henry VIII. It was repealed by 5 and 6 Edward VI., but restored by Elizabeth. The rate was ten per cent, for a year. It was reduced by the 21 James I., c. 27, to eight per cent.

THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
DISTINGUISH carefully between the two, This thing is yours, the other thing is mine. You have a shirt, a brimless hat, a shoe And half a coat. I am the Lord benign Of fifty hundred acres of fat land To which I have a right. You understand? I have a right because I have, because, Because I have—because I have a right. Now be quite calm and good, obey the laws, Remember your low station, do not fight Against the goad, because, you know, it pricks Whenever the uncleanly demos kicks. I do not envy you your hat, or shoe. Why should you envy me my small estate? It’s fearfully illogical in you To fight with economic force and fate. Moreover, I have got the upper hand, And mean to keep it. Do you understand? ~Hilaire Belloc: in “Sonnets and Verse.”

President Harrison on Currency
Connected with this subject is the character of the currency. The idea
of making it exclusively metallic, however well intended, appears to me
to be fraught with more fatal consequences than any other scheme having
no relation to the personal rights of the citizens that has ever been
devised. If any single scheme could produce the effect of arresting at
once that mutation of condition by which thousands of our most indigent
fellow-citizens by their industry and enterprise are raised to the
possession of wealth, that is the one. If there is one measure better
calculated than another to produce that state of things so much
deprecated by all true republicans, by which the rich are daily adding
to their hoards and the poor sinking deeper into penury, it is an
exclusive metallic currency. Or if there is a process by which the
character of the country for generosity and nobleness of feeling may be
destroyed by the great increase and neck toleration of usury, it is an
exclusive metallic currency.

Police: Victim killed, found along Onion Creek was 16-year-old boy

Newsom said there's no reason for the public to fear for their safety. But they hope for his mother’s sake that people will come forward with new information. “We do hope that anyone that sees this, that knew Darian, or knew any of his associates, or have any information about the robberies, come forward, cause we need that for his mother, so she can have some peace, what little she can get. No matter what the young man was involved in, he's still a 16-year-old child. His family still deserves closure and he did not deserve to die in the manner that he did.”
