I'm a little perturbed by the glowing mention of "human capital contracts" - which sounds a hell of a lot like indentured servitude to me.

  The standard U.S. college loans, which you have to pay back even if you've declared bankruptcy, also sound a bit like indentured servitude.

    Well - true. Any loan is, essentially. But ... I dunno. It just sounds like newspeak to me.

      It's the other way around, most loans are forgiven in bankruptcy with student loans being an exception.

        ! That's true, I'd forgotten that!
