Deep dives

The Growing Debt Crisis

A significant concern is the increasing national debt, which historically leads to severe financial problems. Countries often impose exchange controls when debts become unmanageable, limiting citizens' access to their own funds. This tightening results in a debt crisis and potentially a currency crisis, which can have devastating effects on the economy. The discussion emphasizes the inevitability of repeating historical patterns, where mounting debt eventually leads to economic turmoil.
