No, the root cause is scarcity, which also manifests in other ills.

Lending is simply one strategy sometimes used when scarcity happens.

For example, consider a lone shipwrecked man who starves to death on a desolate island. That isn't a tragedy of lending--which is not merely absent but impossible--but a tragedy of scarcity.

You have a point but we don't yet have the means to fix scarcity itself yet. In a post scarcity society there would be no need for an economy to begin with, lending would not even need to exist.
