It’s interesting to think about the US Dollar Bills. Originally, dollar bills were really just debt papers. Payable by gold or silver. Since 1971, those dollar bills are technically now “money” themselves and not a debt.

 The #jubilee is a time of the freedom of slaves, the forgiveness of debts, and the return of the people to the land! Who can argue with that? 

 I’m an economist studying the ancient tradition of Jubilee. I think we’re about to see the first real Jubilee in over 2500 years. Send me your thoughts and your economic concepts on how Jubilee will come to pass here in the 21st century.
