The Greek word for interest is tokos (τόκος), which literally means "offspring" or "childbirth". Philosophers like Aristotle used this metaphor to argue that usury was unnatural because money is "sterile" and should not be able to "give birth" to more of itself.
A great solution to this was to use cattle as currency, it had a supply bound to nature and was useful in itself as simply hoarding it provided yield, which is perfect for nomadic people. the Quran mentions this and took a satirical approach explaining the bizarre nature of the futures market and regulations of the financial system that took place around it by the Mekkan priests where they control and manipulate the quantity of currency by making prohibiting sacrifice of certain cattle and encouraging the sacrifice of others probably all based on their portfolios positions that year 6:136-144.
Sorry for using the dead financial vernacular to explain this (no thanks to you, gigi) but it is closely related to how money works today. All you have to do is replace cattle mentioned above with people. Cattle hoarding yielded more cattle, milk clothes and was even used for travel while hoarding humans however, yields inspiration. Inspiration is a not a very well understood concept anymore (no thanks to you again, gigi) and for the our modern metallic mind filled with microplastics, inspiration materialized is technology, internet and bitcoin which was probably a very unintended fruit, init?.
Herding humans takes skill far beyond herding cattle. The kings and priests of Sheba, Babylon and Rome have perfected herd control through the duality of the palace and the temple using debts, ledgers, courts, wars, pandemics and usually ending with fire at the temple when debts start compiling faster than the juice of inspiration can deflate it, imagine miking a cow for too long where you start getting powder instead of milk, it is where you put the cow to rest and open the farm gates in search for some new wild cows to domesticate.
...on side note here, biblical prophets were always priest kings where the palace and temple are one, just to ending vicious duality of mass deception, but that was a breed that died long ago, what you have now is priest pigs that want a sustainable continuation with the Palace-Bank duality...
The natural path of stripping the fruits of inspiration from people through debasement of currency instead of letting it flow back naturally to society is reflected in continuous debasement of intellect, trust, language and manners and art, the very aspects making a human different than cattle. The debasement flies upwards in the pyramid until it reaches the top. The queen of Sheba having a hoof instead of a foot is the result of 80 years of what's called sun worship.
in short, does it own your mind or do you? the form of money you use is your answer.
The greatest improvement on on slavery was after the American civil war, it is where slavery went from owning fruits of physical labor to owning the fruits of immaterial thought. Any thought that has or will have any value is owned before it is even conceived.
