But in the borrower s view it is usurious taking advantage of the borrower s desperation.

Low interest rates strengthen the ability to pay, and thus boost demand.

Commercial debt usually has covenants that limit the borrower s ability to roll the dice.

When prices are rising, the real interest rate is less than the nominal rate since the borrower repays with dollars that are worth less.

As long as the borrower has not misled the lender at the time of taking the loan, the lender bears at least some responsibility for the transaction.

Loan or bond covenants often require borrowers to agree to maintain a minimum level of equity capital or cash on hand.

Similarly, private borrowers can go to prison if they misrepresent their financial condition to secure bank loans.

The borrower typically requests loans when it needs to purchase and manufacture inventory, and repays the loans when the inventory is sold and the sales price is collected.

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest as with the servant, so with his master as with the maid, so with her mistress as with the buyer, so with the seller as with the lender, so with the borrower as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
