      whole world including the countries that absolutely hates you like Chinese and Russians are more than happy to finance your debt, For usa debt is not much of a problem. USA economy is just on another level altogether. You can double your debt and still be fine. You attract the best talent from around the world with number one in business environment, your contry is open and understanding to new people and ideas for the most part... USA is number one and would prolly be that way as long as the fundamentals of the country dont change or some politician does something rash or something unexpected happen basically to Finish usa, usa needs to something unexceptional. Your sworn enemies like iran and russia would love to be able to finace your debt again but you stopped selling your debt to them (SANCTIONS).

    The U.S. economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average American. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.

      I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.

      Japan has also managed to live with its debt, because most of its own debt is somehow owed to its own citizens and banks. The upside of this is currency variations don't dramatically change the debt, or the repayments. Argentina, on the other hand, has all of its debt in foreign currencies, so when their Peso drops, their debt gets exponentially worse. It's all pretty confusing.

    A misconception on government debt, Japan's bond are mostly owned by their own citizens while the USA bonds are (30%) by foreign corporations and other nations.
    Foreign nations holds US bonds as hedge to lower their currency against the US dollar.
    Most all international trades are transacted through US dollar so all nations needs to manage their currency exchange against the dollar or the dollar will become to high and will make it impossible to commodity like crude oil, various mineral ores, wheat, etc.
    Japan also holds the most US bonds to keep the Yen managable since Japan buys those commodity using the US Dollars as the transaction currency.
    As for Japans debt/bond, Japan also holds alot of foreign government bonds/debts and also lends a lot of money through overseas economic/development assistance.
    In essence you need to look at the government balance sheet to actually see how the actual health of the nations.
    One more thing, US most largest export items is the US Dollars through US government bonds/debts.

    "this rail isn't going anywhere" is objectively false.
    Conditions got so bad in South Africa that average people went out and dug up rails to sell for scrap metal.
    Infrastructure exists to service an economy, and when that economy disappears, that infrastructure is only worth its weight in materials.
    If you don't have a job, but own an expensive car, you can't say "well at least I own this car". You'll be in a position where you're forced to liquidate assets to keep going.

      rail isn't going anywhere, unless the entire government changes, the economy doesn't just stagnate but effectively collapses or shrinks significantly (so the rail doesn't really serve a purpose anymore), and the new government fails to maintain order. so yeah, it's objectively false but unless you're South Africa back then or a low income nation before de-colonization or with over-reliance on one industry, you'll probably be fine.

    Japanese debt is often seen as being one of the most significant in the world, but what's also quite forgotten is that their debt is majorly owned by the japanese people themselves which changes a lot of things when it comes to economics and also political decision available to the japanese government.

Russia offered payments through other channels, including payments in Roubles at the standing exchange rate. As the payment method was in breach with the securities issued contract it was declared a default, but the goverment was financially stable. Russian debt to GDP is @ approx 15% now, one of the lowest in the world.

    very informative video as usual talking about different countries' policies but there's something i didn't get when you explained why debt is not such a bad thing.
    sure debt softens the blows of unexpected downturns, and it can produce tangible development like infrastructure, and aid in a disaster to prevent humanitarian crises, but every point about why debt repayment is troublesome is not a problem of not having debt, it's about having debt in the first place. having to pay a much larger figure in the future on the backs of future population
    and as someone very familiar with philippine politics it seems to me debt enables would-be dictators to borrow a lot and let the people pay for it when the dictator is already dead.

      Having debt is normal, if a nation goes to war they go into debt and that debt is worth it. Nation has a humanitarian crisis and needs money to help ppl/ infrastructure then they go into debt. The idea of debt is older than currency itself even, it’s normal.
      Second.
      Growth cures debt, issue comes when your nation makes it harder than normal to grow due to being a bad place to live, lack of social security, healthcare, national defence, trust in institutions, access to trade routes, people, resources etc.

      You're right, mismanaged debt can be very bad. But well managed debt can be very good and that's the risk and tradeoff of taking on debt. For example nobody questions a business taking a loan to expand their business, or a young family getting a mortgage so they have a nice house to live in. There is time value to money and having it now is worth more than in the future. But if you can't pay it back you can end up worse than where you started.

Nothing stops people from getting unemployed. Nothing stops the exports from falling or the mines depleting. But you are still paying the interest. What are you going to do? Increase taxes.

    When the debt is from your own central bank, it is a little different. Japan has so much debt, but they also have more asset that pays more than the interest they need to pay. Also, Japan has a hidden U.S. dollar asset that they don’t talk about. When Japanese yen was at their highest, Japanese government unofficially printed more yen to buy U.S. dollars. The yen was twice as strong as it is right now. That U.S. currency can be sold at 100% profit. But it is sitting collecting dust as a shadow savings. So the nature of Japan’s debt is so different.

    I thought South Korea would come up in the IMF discussion bc of how prevalent that narrative is in that country, but it seems like they weren't even the country that was hit the hardest. Thanks for the awesome video. Now I feel like I'm clued into a bigger conversation.

    Problem with some of these things is that you need to continue to pay to maintain and use them. Its like borrowing money to buy a Ginormous Hummer. When you run out of money, you might still have that Hummer, but you also need to pay for gas and maintenance - assuming you're going to skimp on insurance - but without gas and paying for maintenance, that Hummer isn't going anywhere. So infrastructure is the same thing. Operating and maintaining them can be expensive, especially if the income from normal operations can't cover the normal operation and maintenance costs - ignoring debt servicing costs.

    Very good analysis... especially the explanation that debt is not necessarily bad. People take out mortgages on their house and pay back a huge amount of interest over a 30 year loan but look what they get in return for it. Debt should be used wisely, which of course it rarely is, especially at the public level. Politicians can't be trusted to make sound fiscal policy, which is why they dump the responsibility on the Central Bank to set monetary policy so they have someone to blame when things go south. People love to blame the Fed.. and they're clearly not guiltless here.. but if politicians did their jobs they'd be a lot less hated.

      Debt is just society owing itself to itself. The real question is: do we owe ourselves punishing ourselves out of spite for ourselves, or encouraging ourselves to flourish for our ultimate good?

      Most currency in the world is debt, and ALL debt has interest. FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate) economy is parasitic, and takes away from the productive part of the society, to the part that has enough capital to loan out in the first place. They are not making a profit by producing or refining anything. They are not making a profit by doing work. They are making a profit by the sole virtue of having capital in the first place.
      Yeah cool, someone made a profit of an entire house, just because you had to take a loan to have a home for your family. Now he can buy another house and rent it out, and give out a new mortgage to someone else. His capital will grow exponentially, while your paycheck will grow linearly.
      So yeah, debt is probably not an issue. But an entire economic system built around unlimited debt and interest is.

    It's like you said; it all comes down to whether or not you can pay it back. High speed rail, healthcare, and various other things can be really great, but if a country can't pay it back it's eventually going to default. If you're interested in learning a bit more about how this stuff actually works on a higher level, I can't recommend Heresy Financial enough. The dude there is insanely good at breaking down all the different parts of how this stuff works (Central banks, national debt, what actually happens when you default, etc), and once you understand all the pieces the big picture makes much more sense. Basically, this type of stuff is why the Gold standard and not practicing fractional reserve banking are so important. With gold, a country can only borrow from their central bank as much as the amount of gold they have in reserve. Without some kind of standard to tie your currency to, the only thing that controls how much you can borrow is political will, and we all know how that goes.

      Yeah, but as you may have noticed, you also need the political will to stay on the gold standard....
      Anyway, It makes absolutely no sense to have huge amount of gold held in reserve, sitting there doing nothing most of the time. It's misuse of public funds.

    Paying back loans with more loans is like getting a car and when it breaks down you buy another car to replace the parts on your old car but now you have a new car that doesn’t work yay.

    An interesting fact when the UKs credit rating comes up . Since the late 70s we had a AAA rating up there with the Swiss and Germans which is understandable given our historical importance in finance and our continued importance (the connector of the outside world to the EU, as a member we had the same benefits as Germany but we had concessions allowing greater freedoms such as fiscal and monetary policy independence from the ECB and EU parliamentary fiscal rules) but since we voted in 2016 for Brexit our rating was lowered to the shown AA because we had voted to get rid of our uniqueness as the global broker for Europe. Just some interesting what’s now economic history :)
