There's been an awful lot of discussion about debt, and very little discussion about what debt and interest are, why they exist, and where this stuff comes from

Looks like you want a "not" in "debt - a lot of debt, even - is necessarily a problem".

You wrote a great post. I started to reply but it got long so that went in my journal.

I did Ignite talk about the second paragraph, if anyone wants more perspective on that point. As a bonus, it's got jokes about bacon.

That was a really awesome talk. I wish you could come over to the UK and get involved in an argument I'm having with some Venus Project people, because I think you'd do a much better job articulating their side than they're doing. (Might write about this in a future post.)
