Future generations.

The best we could all do would be pooling money together to pay off debt.

Every time a debt was closed, that amount of money would just vanish of the economy.

That is the basics of fiat currency. We base our global economy on implicit trust, which is good, but the bad agents in the system are quick to corrupt it and here we are.

I wasn't being sarcastic to any degree. It does sound like an interesting book.
