The Debt Addiction

Directed by Daniel Garrahan

At what point does the bond market break?

Developed economies around the world are loaded up with debt. That was less of a problem in the era of free money but inflationary pressures are back and structurally-higher interest rates mean debt is more expensive to issue and service. This film examines what some are calling the biggest issue in global finance today, the role of the 'bond vigilantes', and whether government borrowing could spiral out of control.
