The systematic problem was recognised by Polanyi in 1944 in his book "the great transformation" where he discussed the idea of a Reciprocity Economy compared to the Service Economy. In a Service Economy those who provide the Service take all the profit but in a reciprocity economy the profit is shared with those who provide it. Banks produce money and take the profit as interest. If they shared the profit by reducing loans on each payment by the repayment amount + 50% of the interest they pay then debt does not compound.
