Wow this is completely detached from reality in an Econ101 kind of way.

The problem is that these are not "IOUs" but paper printed by the most violent empire(s) in history. The choice is to serve or starve. Their "other kind of capital" is literally guns, not blueprints ffs.

People will be violently forced to serve just like they are and always have been.
