Perhaps what is needed is implementing of broadscale year of jubilee where debts are reset and society can reevaluate everything.  The debt is dragging everything way down now.

We were very close to this when Greece had their election. They got scared and narrowly chose pro-bailout. If they'd gone anti-bailout I think it would have triggered a cascading default of this kind. Don't think the economy could be worse off than now if that happened, but I believe it would have helped confidence lots to have the debt gone.
