# Stock Lent at Interest
## Definition
Capital that is loaned to borrowers who pay an annual rent (interest) for its use, with the expectation that the original capital will be returned in full at the end of the loan period. This form of lending creates a distinct economic relationship where the lender transfers the right to employ the capital to the borrower while maintaining ownership.
## Source Chapter
Book II, Chapter 4
## Context
This chapter forms the central discussion of how capital functions when transferred through lending arrangements. Smith distinguishes between productive use of borrowed capital (which generates returns sufficient to repay both principal and interest) and unproductive consumption (which leads to dissipation of capital). The analysis establishes the foundation for understanding interest rates, the monied interest, and the economic consequences of different borrowing patterns.
