Question for the scholars - are Mammon and usury the same beast?

im a sinner, not a scholar, but to my understanding, usury is loaning out money with interest, while "Mammon" is worship of money. not like, ppl getting down on their knees in front of a fat stack of benjamins. its ppl who talk about "compound interest" like its a divine wealth creating force, and not a human wealth extraction system based on usury.

Usury probably should be outlawed. I agree with Zodium on that!

it was always illegal. we don't have the power to make usury "legal" in the first place. we've just built our society in open defiance of the law.
