[00:00.30]
[00:01.00] Jews, too, weren't supposed to lend at interest
[00:03.90] But there was a convenient get-out clause in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, chapter 23
[00:10.44] you aren't supposed to lend to your brother at interest
[00:13.40] But to a stranger? Well, that was a different matter
[00:16.30] In other words, a Jew couldn't lend to a Jew, but he could lend to a Christian
[00:25.28] The price the Jews paid for performing this service was social exclusion
[00:30.67] Hence the ghetto. And hence the centuries - long association between Jews and finance
[00:38.30] one of the few forms of economic activity from which Jews were not once excluded
[00:46.33] In the end, of course, Shylock is thwarted
[00:49.37] For although the court recognises his right to a pound of flesh
[00:52.84] the law also prohibits him from shedding Antonio's blood
[00:57.31] And, because he's a Jew
[00:58.83] the law also requires the loss of his goods and life for so much as plotting the death of a Christian
[01:04.69] He only escapes by submitting to baptism
[01:08.97] It turns out to be a risky business to be a moneylender
[01:14.83] The Merchant of Venice raises profound questions about both economics and anti-Semitism
[01:20.59] Why don't debtors always default on their debts?
[01:24.15] Especially when the creditors belong to unpopular ethnic minorities
[01:28.41] Why don't the Shylocks always lose out?
[01:33.59]
