Debtors who lose their homes or farms, when they cannot make debt payments, are merely forcing the realization of loss onto those whose money was lent to them.

The debtor does lose their "illusion of ownership" over their "bank owned" home or farm. They can also lose their "illusion of equity".

This is hardly different from people who "lose their home" to the landlord when they can no longer pay the rent. The thing they are losing, never actually belonged to them in the first place.

These concepts can get confused when everything in our daily lives is viewed through the distorted "carnival mirrors" of the Monetarist Fun-House economy.
