Скачать или смотреть If Every Country Is in Debt… Who’s the Creditor?

Every nation is drowning in debt, yet the payments continue. If governments are "broke," who holds the claim on tomorrow? The truth is, power no longer lives on thrones—it lives on the ledger.
The Overview:
Most people believe debt is a hole you climb out of. They’re wrong. Since 1694, debt has been the primary mechanism of "Silent Control"—a way to turn future taxes into tradable sovereignty. In this episode, we pull the thread on the Shadow Creditor: a global consensus of central banks, pensions, and algorithms that sits above governments. Learn why debt is never meant to be repaid, why "repayment" would actually collapse the world economy, and how the "Creditor Loop" decides who eats when confidence breaks.
Key Facts & Insights:
• The Birth of the Bond: How the 1694 Bank of England deal rewrote capitalism by turning war into a balance sheet exercise .
• Debt as Oxygen: Why sovereign bonds are the "collateral" the world needs to survive. Erasing debt wouldn't save us—it would trigger a global deflationary death spiral.
• The Closed Loop: How taxes route interest upward to the holders of collateral, creating a "rolling subscription" to stability that you can't vote out.
• The "We Owe It To Ourselves" Myth: Deconstructing the flow of interest and how it creates a hidden rank of claims that prioritizes collateral over citizens.
• When the Mask Slips: Case studies from Greece, Argentina, and Sri Lanka on what happens when the "Shadow Creditor" stops negotiating and starts enforcing.
• The Heart Monitor: 5 specific signals—from repo haircuts to credit spreads—that reveal when the system's oxygen is thinning before the headlines hit.
Practical Takeaway:
Don't moralize the ledger; read the mechanism. Once you understand that "Confidence is Law," you can stop chasing political narratives and start tracking the five levers of power: Issuance, Balance Sheets, Collateral Quality, Fiscal Credibility, and External Dependence.
