EZ was wrong about many things, but he nailed one thing: the corrosive effect of lending money at interest (usury) on the fabric of a culture.
Speaking of the generation returning home after the horror of the trenches, he wrote:
came home, home to a lie,
home to many deceits,
home to old lies and new infamy;
usury age-old and age-thick
and liars in public places.
Sounds remarkably temporal doesn't it?
