Experts are sounding the alarm: the world is caught in a debt trap. The global mountain of debt has increased to more than 300 trillion US dollars. To cancel it out, the Earth’s population would have to work for nothing for three years. Is this a cause for concern?

Will private individuals, companies and even entire nations at some point collapse under the weight of this debt mountain? The film looks for the stories behind the debts to discover what can be done to address the problem. In Argentina, for example: Over the past 200 years, the country has faced bankruptcy eight times.

In the United States, people are punished for their poverty. Annita Husband was detained for months in a debtors’ prison in the state of Mississippi. Her fate is just one extreme example from a society in which more and more people in debt find themselves in a hopeless situation and lose their freedom.

But debts per se aren’t a bad thing, insists economist Christoph Trebesch. Particularly when the borrowed capital is used for sensible investments, debts make sense. But there are plenty of negative stories. One standout example of the credit-fueled hubris is the project “The World”, artificial islands off the coast of Dubai that, seen from the air, resemble a map of the world. Luxury properties built on the islands were designed as resorts for the super-rich. But the project ground to a halt in the financial crisis of 2008. Since then, the wind and the sea have blurred the outlines of some of the islands.

The film explores the question: what are the consequences of debts – for both debtors and creditors? And what sort of solutions might be on hand to deal with the gigantic volume of debt taken on by nations, companies and private households?

Some 70 countries are in or at risk of debt distress – a record number that has the World Bank sounding the alarm. Debt defaults by these emerging and developing countries could lead the world into a global financial crisis perhaps even on par with the Great Depression of 1929. The pattern is clear from three previous debt waves: the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, Asian financial crisis of the 1990s, and the global financial crisis triggered by the 2007 US subprime crisis.

Is the global debt of over $300 trillion really a problem? And does debt for the global economy work in a different way from debt on an individual level? In this video we’ll explain who holds all the debt that countries and businesses owe, and whether this will be a big problem in the near future.

Global Debt Solutions (Registered Debt Counsellors ) was formed with one goal in mind – to assist over-indebted consumers who need to get out of debt. Debt Counselling was introduced in 2007 and is governed and regulated by the National Credit Act 34 of 2005. Under section 86 and 87 of the national credit act, a consumer may approach a debt counsellor to be placed under debt review if he/she is unable to pay his debts in a timeous fashion.

We immediately set up a new payment plan and begin negotiating with creditors. They will no longer be allowed to call you or harass you. Your salary cannot be garnished either as the debt counselling program will protect you.

What sets us apart from our competition is that we have an in-house legal team which ensures our client’s rights remain protected at all times. Our team of Debt Counsellors and Attorneys work together throughout the process. Combined with our years of experience in the industry, we have become a formidable opponent to credit providers. Our PDA software automatically links to our payment distribution agent which ensures that accurate and timeous payments are made on behalf of our clients to their credit providers.

After an assessment is conducted with you, we will be able to determine the best solution to your debt problem.

Total worldwide debt is expected to continue growing over the coming months, despite having just climbed to a fresh all-time high. Given the three previous waves of global debt accumulation have all ended with financial crises, CNBC’s Sam Meredith takes a look at the risks associated with the latest build-up.

This week marks a decade since the collapse of the US investment bank Lehman Brothers triggered the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression.
What became known as the Global Financial Crisis saw banks collapse and even whole countries teeter on the brink of insolvency.
While much of the world fell into prolonged recession, Australia’s economy narrowly avoided that fate – but 10 years on, many individual Australians are still paying the price.
Now, there are new warnings from financial insiders that the global economy could be even more vulnerable to a repeat meltdown.

Debt as power is a timely and innovative contribution to our understanding of one of the most prescient issues of our time: the explosion of debt across the global economy and related requirement of political leaders to pursue exponential growth to meet the demands of creditors and investors.

The book is distinctive in offering a historically sensitive and comprehensive analysis of debt as an interconnected and global phenomenon. Rather than focusing on the historical emergence of debt as a moral obligation, the authors argue that debt under capitalism can be conceived of as a technology of power, intimately tied up with the requirement for perpetual growth and the differential capitalization that benefits ‘the 1%’.

Their account begins with the recognition that the histories of human communities and their natural environment are interconnected in complex spatial and hierarchical relations of power and to understand their development we need to not only examine the particularities of a given case, but more importantly their interconnected, interdependent and international relations. Since debt under capitalism is increasingly ubiquitous at all levels of society and economic growth is now the sole mantra of dominant political parties around the world, the authors argue that tracing the evolution and transformation of debt as a technology of power is crucial for understanding the ‘present as history’ and possible alternatives to our current trajectory
