We’ll Need Mass Debt Forgiveness to Recover From the C---------s
MAY 28, 2020
The Babylonian Empire had a problem. Humanity’s banking craze had just gotten under way. Money lenders were in the temples making grain loans to farmers. This expansion of credit was helping to facilitate trade and agricultural production. But over time, the proliferation of debt was also creating big headaches. Subsistence farming is a tough business, even in good times. People often fell behind on their loans. And this insolvency was routinely exacerbated by forces wholly outside of human control — drought, pestilence, angry gods, etc. As a result, large numbers of debtors were falling into b-----e or fleeing from the kingdom to escape their creditors, sapping the empire’s supply of laborers and warriors and putting a real dent in imperial morale. So, to make Babylonia great again, the kingdom established periodic debt jubilees: When new rulers ascended to the throne, they inaugurated their reigns by canceling all existing debts, allowing society to reset its financial system.
