Debt jubilee
A debt jubilee is a clearance of debt from public records across a wide sector or a nation. Such a jubilee was proposed as a solution to debt incurred or anticipated during the 2020 coronavirus recession.[1][2] The American economist Michael Hudson was a proponent of a debt jubilee, writing in a Washington Post op-ed that it was an alternative to a depression.[3][4]
