              An answer to [usury] is lending circles. These have a long history in various countries. The non-profit Mission Asset Fund introduces them in the USA and take it one step further in that members of the lending circle are able to boost their credit scores. Each member will, for example, put in the shared pot monthly. Then, after ten months that person will get with no interest rate. Their monthly contributions will be reported to a [credit bureau] to enhance their [credit score].
