The problem was recognized by the kings of Babylon in the second millennium BC. Babylonian kings occasionally issued decrees for the cancellation of debts and/or the return of the people to the lands they had sold. This was intended to redress the tendency of debtors to become hopelessly in debt and to prevent accumulation of most of the arable land into the control of a wealthy few. The decrees were issued sporadically. The Biblical formulation of the laws presented a significant advance in justice and the rights of the people. This was due to the "clean slates" now being codified into law, rather than relying on the whim of the king. Furthermore, the regular rhythm of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years meant that everyone would know when the next release was due, thereby giving fairness and equity to both creditor and debtor.
