Abstract

The article explores the historical role plaid by interest and incorporation as corrosive forces employed in the process of transforming traditional societies. The Solve et Coagula method, which seeks the dissolution of natural identities and their replacement by man-made constructs, requires the annihilation of social, political and economic barriers which used to protect traditional societies. Legal precedents such as the prosbul of Rabbi Hillel the Elder, the establishment of the first modern corporation (VOC) and Loi le Chappelier are presented in this context. The works of major sociologists such as Weber, Davies, Ilie Badescu or Catalin Zamfir and economists such as Michael Hudson offer the theoretical framework for the analysis.
