In The Three Stooges scene often referenced as a comical take on debt and banking, Moe, Larry, and Curly each owe each other the exact same amount of money — creating a loop of debt.
Moe owes Larry $10, Larry owes Curly $10, and Curly owes Moe $10. As they argue over who owes what, they realize no one actually has any money.
It’s a hilarious example of circular debt — a concept that exists in real economics too. In some cases, entire financial systems or companies owe each other money in loops, and unless someone breaks the cycle with real funds, nothing gets settled.
