#Sovereign Debt

Sovereign debt is the art of borrowing tomorrow’s taxes to indulge today’s whims. It pledges prosperity while an interest demon pirouettes behind the scenes. The more you trust in the state’s solvency, the farther insolvency seems—a paradoxical magic trick. Governments disguise red ink as strategy, chaining their own freedom to service payments. In this grand theater, the debtor and creditor play the same role.
