For this to be true, the net interest falling due each year
would have to eat up the majority of the surplus value, under
those circumstances, I would agree that usurers capital would
be dominant. Perhaps since we are talking of feudalism instead
of surplus value one should just refer to surplus labour, though
to make it comensurable with interest one has to express it as
value,
