My idea is an inverse application of mutual credit, where instead of the society extending credit to individuals, individuals extend credit to the society.
Example: a painter extends credit to someone when he paints their living room. The debtor then issues a certificate authenticating the work was done. Now the society owes the painter.
The model is Christ himself, who offered his sacrifice to the Father for the world's benefit, rather than the world extending credit to him in exchange for his work.
there is a parallel in the Federal Reserve System.
