Debt, Deficits, and the Illusion of Growth
Governments around the world are running on borrowed time — quite literally. Debt, once seen as a tool for progress, has quietly become the foundation of the modern economy. But not all debt builds; much of it simply delays collapse.
Today, borrowing rarely funds productivity. It funds comfort. It buys political peace, fuels consumption, and sustains the appearance of growth. GDP rises because credit expands, not because real value is created. When the debt stops growing, the illusion fades.
Central banks face a paradox: raise rates and risk implosion, or print money and erode the currency. Either way, faith — not finance — keeps the system alive.
Households mirror the same pattern: living beyond means, financed by plastic cards and easy credit. Corporations leverage to buy back their own shares. Nations refinance old promises with new ones. The cycle continues because everyone hopes someone else will pay the final bill.
Real growth requires creation — not printing. Until that returns, we live in an economy powered by borrowed confidence, where prosperity is rented, not earned.
