Radical Science Fiction

Is what I'm about to propose but given that we are projecting potential 15 to 18 months of social separation I don't see a realistic alternative because our economy, our world economy, cannot sustain our current state that long:

A complete and worldwide economic reset.

Zero out all world debt.

Completely restructure how loans and costs work.

I know it sounds insane but there isnt enough money in the world to rebalance a world economy for that long.


Thoughts?

But as crazy as it sounds I dont see how we "float" a world economy for 3 months...much less 12...15...18.
