Goodhart, Charles and Hudson, Michael (2018) Some ways to introduce a modern debt Jubilee. VoxEU.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The increasing income and wealth inequalities within countries is one of today’s great social concerns. This column describes how the tendency towards increasing indebtedness in much earlier societies was held in check by debt-cancellation Jubilees, and discusses ways to deal with today’s debt overhang and accompanying wealth inequalities. The funding of a modern Jubilee could come mostly, perhaps entirely, from a land/or property tax.
