Public debt shapes wealth distribution not only through borrowing costs, but through the tax burden required to sustain it and the way that burden changes household saving and long-term wealth accumulation.

Long-term value depends on how effectively organizations align assets, capital, risk, data, and life-cycle decisions with the outcomes they are ultimately trying to achieve.

Government debt affects interest rates through more than its size; domestic saving, external balances, and the structure of financing help determine the true price of public borrowing.
