 Two Faces of Debt
Everyone knows what debt is when he or she owes it, but people sometimes forget that most of the financial assets they try to accumulate are the debts of others.
While debt is a claim on the assets and earnings of those in debt, it is also part of the assets of their creditors.
In addition to differing in terms of maturity and liquidity, debts differ in their risk of default and in the extent to which they are secured by collateral -- i.e., assets pledged by a borrower that the lender would acquire in the case of nonpayment.

 Sony Kapoor shows why do we need total multilateral debt cancellation for HIPCs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
Even the partial debt cancellation promised under the Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative is being rendered less effective due to the violation of the central concept of equal burden sharing amongst creditors; the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have refused to contribute their fair share by pleading poverty.
This paper makes the case for higher levels of debt cancellation and grant (aid) flows for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPCs) and shows how some of the additional resources needed for this can be mobilized by multilateral financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank.
Altruism and idealism aside, the debt of the HIPCs is also uncollectible; they cannot afford to pay, and the Fund and the Bank must bear some responsibility for the accumulation of unsustainable levels of debts.

 Sustainable Public Debt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
While fiscal deficits and the public debt and have always been contentious political issues, most economists recognize that a government should be able to safely and reasonably finance at least some part of its spending through the issuance of debt in lieu of taxation.
A reasonable argument can be made that the level of public debt becomes excessive when its growth in nominal terms (both passively through interest accrual and actively through structural primary budget deficits) exceeds the long-term growth of the economy (and thus its tax revenue base) that the debt was ultimately intended to promote.
Implied forward rates in liquid, efficient debt markets supposes an equivalency between short and longer term interest rates that render the term structure of a government’s debt (i.e., short term versus long term borrowing) irrelevant when one considers inflation – and, thus, interest rates – a strictly monetary phenomenon directly effected by public finance.
