National Debt by alternative Interest Strategies

Hermann Witte



Abstrakt

The national debt is frequently discussed in the economic literature. There are two general positions: (1) the national debt is viewed as an evil, because it is a never ending process and (2) the national debt is necessary, because the state needs it to secure its future. In order to explain the validity of each position a simple model is formulated in this article. The model shows that the national debt becomes a never ending process, when the system efficiency is not equal to one and there is no chance to repay the national debt. Even growth-oriented economic policy is not able to solve this problem. However, the national debt can be successfully managed by means of interest policy. A high level of interest will lead to national bankruptcy relatively quickly. But a decreasing level of interest prolongs the time before national bankruptcy happens. A zero interest level and no obligation to repay the national debt will prevent national bankruptcy. When it is additionally possible to stop incurring new debt, the national debt can be kept in check. A negative interest level of national bonds is an instrument which offers a chance of repaying the national debt.(original abstract)
