“We find it constructive to divide debt into three categories based on the criteria of capital consumption. We’ll start with liabilities taken on with the intent of making a subsequent sale at a profit: in other words, debt that increases the capital base, such as business loans. We call this ‘good’ debt. In the second category, we have mortgages, financial sector loans and foreign debt, all of which are classified as ‘bad’ debt. In the third and last category, we have debt that allows pure capital consumption, such as consumer credit and government debt. It should be obvious that consumptive debt cannot exceed productive debt for an indefinite period of time.”
