Drawing on Spinoza (as well as David Graeber and a few others) to think about monetary mediation, this article reconsiders debt in the light of two practices more generally associated with the religious realm than with economics: that of the jubilee, by which, in the world of the Old Testament, the debt count was periodically reset to zero, and that of the omen, which ritualizes an anticipation of the future, today more than ever at the heart of our financial mechanisms (investment, speculation, derivatives).
