When Debt Outgrows the Economy |The Terminal Debt Cycle

Описание: When Debt Outgrows the Economy |The Terminal Debt Cycle

For decades, policymakers and economists assumed that economic growth would consistently outpace the accumulation of debt. Borrowing was seen as a tool for innovation, infrastructure, and long-term prosperity. But a structural shift is now emerging across modern economies.

In this documentary-style analysis, we examine the terminal stage of debt dynamics — the point where interest payments and debt servicing begin to consume more resources than productive economic activity can generate. From the Bretton Woods system and the gold standard to the fiat era, quantitative easing, and the post-2008 financial environment, this video explores how the global debt architecture evolved over time.

We analyze the role of central banks, the rise of financial leverage, Minsky’s Financial Instability Hypothesis, and how prolonged stability can lead to structural fragility. With global debt reaching historic levels relative to GDP, and productivity growth slowing in advanced economies, the long-term sustainability of debt-driven growth is increasingly questioned.

This video covers:
• Bretton Woods and the shift to fiat money
• Minsky’s hedge, speculative, and Ponzi finance stages
• The 2008 financial crisis and quantitative easing
• Post-pandemic debt expansion
• Debt service vs productive capacity
• The long-term drag of high debt on economic growth

As interest costs rise and fiscal budgets become increasingly dominated by past borrowing, a critical question emerges: has the global financial system entered a phase where debt growth structurally outpaces real economic expansion?

This research-driven documentary is designed for viewers interested in macroeconomics, global finance, monetary history, and long-term economic cycles.
