Steve Keen and Michael Hudson have both been arguing for a debt jubilee for some time. Now, as COVID-19 hits the poorest hardest, and leaves those with money better off than before, is this the right time to write off debt? Can the economy recover without it?

They explain their thinking to Phil Dobbie on this week’s free edition of the Debunking Economics podcast.
