For a law against real estate usury

On July 23, 1908, a law was promulgated that remains in force with respect to the numerous political and legal avatars adopted in Spain since then.

They know how ley Azcarate against wear. The standard that bears the name of the author of the material, Gumersindo de Azcáratelawyer, historian, catedrático and político krausista español, fallecido in 1917.

Azcárate fue, junto a Fernando Giner de los Rios, Nicolás Salmerón, Teodoro Sainz Rueda and other catedráticos, one of the founders of the Institución Libre de Education, was reprimanded and expelled from his university in 1876.

On “delito” he defended free speech in the classroom and freedom in the classroom.

It is best to remove them, because only then can she get the size of someone who has achieved that life has lasted more than a single age, who is known by her name and because, thanks to personalities like her, society is being corrected and able to overcome the injustices of inveteradas.

The legislative decree declares that loan contracts are not negotiated in those that stipulate interest on money that is noticeably higher than usual and clearly disproportionate.

Fortunately, the law remains in force and thanks to its merits, many moneylenders and similar lending operations are declared usurious.

Article 47 of the Constitution proclaims the right of the Spanish people to a dignified and reasonable life and obliges the public authorities to enforce the relevant norms to prevent their speculation.

¿Para cuándo una “ley Azcárate” against real estate speculation over life?

Life is not a commodity. Not a cheap value. None the less, it appears to some as a cryptocurrency. It is a very basic necessity in terms of human freedom and dignity.

That is none of our business, as lawyers, philosophers and our entire constitutional tribunal have said.

“You want to see this great collection, but you don’t want to play with something as precious to human freedom and dignity as life”

So much, that a bit if they have more ricos speculating with good that the freedom and dignity of people is not only morally objectionable, but also represents the vulnerability of our legal public order.

The Constitutional Tribunal is informed that there is no clear property right. There are as many classes of derecho property as there are types of goods above those that can carry such a derecho.

The requirement of ownership over life must not fulfill only the social function of ownership, which is proclaimed by Article 33 of the Constitution. It is also necessary to preserve the essential content of this property, where the property of the owner resides, which consists in the enjoyment and disposal of the property.

But within this basic content, as prescribed by Article 47 of the Constitution, the ability to reflect is tested.

You want to see exactly what you’re collectingartwork, buy and sell events, including cryptocurrencies. But no one messes with something as precious to human freedom and dignity as life.

A philosopher Ayn Randen The virtue of selfishnesshe said that “without the right side of the property, no other right side is possible”, thus elevating it to the basic category and superior to the remaining right sides, including foundations.

I think that including you, the greatest exponent of economic and political libertarianism, who knows that without property you have no liberty, would be aware that the legislature would provide the means for the majority of citizens to own at least one very important thing.

Which, to stop, cannot be other than yours.

“The free exercise of speculation cannot be prevented. But speculating about life is not only morally unjust: it is unconstitutional.”

Without prejudice to other types of medicine, we can begin by eliminating the speculative ability of life to achieve two things:

–Who rose from the “dead hands” of speculators, empty houses that They were purchased solely for the purpose of resale (speculación) when the price is lower, y

–More housing capacity for those asking for the price must be increased and the number of owners will be increased, thereby increasing their freedom and dignity.

The law of May 24, 2023, for the sake of life, in my opinion, draws my attention to some defects that it is not appropriate to reveal them.

In essence, he overcame the juicio de constitucionalidad. However, it does not fulfill the constitutional mandate because speculative earning of livelihood is prohibited.

Attrition is not a mirror image. It consists, as we know, in dealing with something to get much more of what has been eaten. It is how rico exploits the poor by abusing their necessity.

In the 21st century, real estate speculation is the new way to deal with usury. Whoever has money buys with the aim of selling at a much higher price, taking care of the expenses and needs of others.

The free exercise of speculation must not be hindered. There are other good things (goods, valuables, works of art, rustic finks, industrial ships, etc.) above what the Constitution doesn’t say.

But thinking about life is not only morally unjust, undignified, and contrary to the freedom of many: it is unconstitutional.
