ΕΝΩΣΗ ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΟΛΟΓΩΝ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΤΙΚΩΝ Δ.Ε. ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑΣ - ΘΡΑΚΗΣ Textbook Economics: If all the countries in the world are in debt, where did all the money go?, Political News by Terence White, Politics On Toast The answer is simple. To master this concept however, we must look at human nature’s gift of rationality. We must remember that consumers are more cautious around high prices, whether prices have risen because of taxes, inflation or even interest rates when taking out loans. This is because consumers both a) want more for less, and b) don’t like getting ripped off. Friedrich Augustus Hayek identified a fundamental point with interest rates. Where lower interest rates mean lower prices, consumers may jump the gun and purchase loans and credit irrationally. The next place to look would be at less industrialised nations, economies requesting bailouts, and Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDC’s). This part of the answer is similar to a spoilt child who gets his five pounds weekly pocket money without fail. The incentives for the UK, France, Germany and so on to bail out the nations mentioned earlier are understandable. Another area of study in this arena is the Third World.
