I don't pretend to have complete answer. But as someone with a huge appreciation for the elegance of the old Judaic laws on debt (which stopped debt from becoming extreme and cured inequality before it could be an issue), well, maybe it's wise to revisit some of the wisdom of our elders?

Those of us who work in lending are maybe not interested in being left to hold this bag. I'd be curious to hear how you can make debt relief without ruining a huge chunk of the economy.
