Debt Runs on Belief

The world is currently over $315 trillion in debt. But if every nation is in the red,

who’s actually holding the bill? ​The truth is, we’ve moved past trading gold or

physical goods. Today, we trade in promises. Debt isn’t a weight holding us back;

it’s a reflection of our collective belief in the future. It’s a shared faith that tomorrow will

come, and that we’ll keep working to pay for today. ​Think about the

chain: Governments borrow from banks, banks borrow from markets, and markets borrow

from hope. It’s a massive, spinning circle that stays upright simply because we

all agree it should. ​In this system, money isn’t the illusion—confidence is.
