Well, we have a mechanism for it. Even a Biblical one, right? The Jubilee,
at which all debts are forgiven? How many ex-colonial countries are
kept de facto colonies by debt service? Eliminating indefinite-term debt
would change both the borrowers' positions and also limit how much a
greedy lender could expect to get.
