There is no fixing usury, it's why the Bible forbids it. Money should be lent to family members at no interest, or by the state to deserving individuals. Fiat currency shouldn't exist either, that too is usury.

Had we obeyed God we wouldn't have this problem. Sadly usury was always a tool of the powerful, used to finance wars, elections, and as a phantom tax, so maybe we need a world where usury isn't possible or necessarily anymore, and to take to heart Augustine's just war doctrine.
