“Legislation has created usury; and the Mutual Bank can destroy it. Usury is a result of the legislation which establishes a particular commodity as the sole article of legal tender; and, when all commodities are made to be ready money through the operation of Mutual Banking, usury will vanish.”
William Batchelder Greene, Mutual Banking

Angela Carter
“In a world where women are commodities, a woman who refuses to sell herself will have the thing she refuses to sell taken away from her by force”
Angela Carter
