Sounds familiar.
Jesus endorsed the same.
Jesus’s first sermon was Luke 4:18-19.
In that sermon, Jesus referenced “Year of Jubilee” - which included (among other things) cancellation of all debt.
Jesus was looking at Leviticus 25 and Isaiah 61.
Jesus wanted to prevent inter-generational poverty vs. trying to develop inter-generational wealth.
