RE:DEBT

A reflexive and more sustainable model of debt would attune its limits to the economic, social, cultural, and ecological conditions in which it operates. A resolvency-oriented understanding and design of debt deliberation could infuse the economic system with reflexive democratic power. Reflexive debt theory seeks to illuminate how diverse social rationalities of debt—ranging from financial credit and political power, to cultural symbolism and ecological interdependence—interrelate within a broader (evolutionary) framework.
