Well, in part the ideas was not get into big debts. People could self-sustain much more easily in the past. No need to buy iPhone each year help on that.
Is important to note that the jubilee was a measure against the worst case scenarios: Persons that sell themselves as slaves (or sons of slaves), people that lost the hereditary land and things like that.
This also means the society was based around this expectations.

- Spooky23 8y agoThere’s 25x more people, and increased specialization required to do almost all essential things.

Plus, was part of the Law that anyone could harvest from any field after the first pass from the owners, as measure against starvation. If you live in a rural area, even today, you will see that is normal and easy to share and get food free or very cheap (in fact, a lot of food will not get in the supermarket for lack of ways to fully utilize the capacity!). Is kind of simply to maintain a live if your are friendly in the community.
