"[...]there's only troopers and 'osses as I knows of.' "'Gord bless you, Bill! None of the other chaps 'ave twigged, and I've scarce throwed a word at Jim since we got afloat. But I looked at 'im and 'e at me, and folks with one 'eart between 'em don't need for words.'" Here the narrator put a square thumb over the brim of his pipe and pressed the weed almost tenderly. "In time," he went on, "I got quite proud o' young Jones, 'e was as smart a dragoon as any, an 'orsemaster[...]".

The practice of charging interest on loans has been controversial since it was first mentioned in early recorded history. Lending is a powerful economic tool, vital to the development of society but it can also lead to disaster if left unregulated. Prohibitions against excessive interest, or usury, have been found in almost all societies since antiquity. Whether loans were made in kind or in cash, creditors often were accused of beggar-thy-neighbor exploitation when their lending terms put borrowers at risk of ruin. While the concept of usury reflects transcendent notions of fairness, its definition has varied over time and place: Roman law distinguished between simple and compound interest, the medieval church banned interest altogether, and even Adam Smith favored a ceiling on interest. But in spite of these limits, the advantages and temptations of lending prompted financial innovations from margin investing and adjustable-rate mortgages to credit cards and microlending. In Beggar Thy Neighbor, financial historian Charles R. Geisst tracks the changing perceptions of usury and debt from the time of Cicero to the most recent financial crises. This comprehensive economic history looks at humanity's attempts to curb the abuse of debt while reaping the benefits of credit. Beggar Thy Neighbor examines the major debt revolutions of the past, demonstrating that extensive leverage and debt were behind most financial market crashes from the Renaissance to the present day. Geisst argues that usury prohibitions, as part of the natural law tradition in Western and Islamic societies, continue to play a key role in banking regulation despite modern advances in finance. From the Roman Empire to the recent Dodd-Frank financial reforms, usury ceilings still occupy a central place in notions of free markets and economic justice.

Thirty-year-old Beckett is an eccentric writer who, unpublished, and perhaps unpublishable, desperately needs a real job. Terminally destitute, he is forced to move in with his loving sister, Barb, who along with her irreproachable husband and their baby daughter rents out a few rooms in a large house above Ellicott City, Maryland. The tenants include the lovely and beautiful Marion, Barb's best friend, who has lost at love too many times. Bill, the seemingly happy-go-lucky banker, recently caught with his hand in the till. The cold and aloof Janice, who treats her boyfriend with an icy contempt. The statuesque Davina, a transgender woman with a gay boyfriend. Finally, enter Beckett, kind-hearted and perhaps a bit eccentric, but above all, good-looking. Heartstrings are pulled and yanked about. Love is lost and love is gained. It's a big mix-up, one you don't want to miss.
