Debt vs. Insurance

Amir explains how debt operates as the "anti-insurance," demanding payment regardless of personal circumstances, unlike insurance which offers support during crises. He critiques the common policy approach of encouraging borrowing to stimulate the economy, likening it to a temporary fix that overlooks deeper issues like stagnating middle-class incomes and growing inequality. Ultimately, he argues that relying on debt is unsustainable and detrimental to long-term economic health.
