This seems good in theory but hard in reality. The modern economy is built on debt being used for new investments. The problem is high interest rates, not interest rates in general.


Something never asked is whether what the modern economy is built on makes sense for longer than a couple hundred years. It seems premature to assume that the modern economy is sustainable ad infinitum.


Debt is being used for new investment? That can’t be right - it’s gotta be some form of credit, right? Maybe I’m mistaken.


Of course, it’s credit. The word “new” is redundant.
