So, everyone is in debts and this poses a simple and
logical question – To whom? Did a Martian come to this
planet and now we owe him?
This can be clarified with the help of market relations. Let’s
say the entire estate on the planet is put on sale, and we
get $100 trillions, while the debt of the whole world is $300
trillions. Does it make any sense? Something is not
quite clear. Who and where is the one who makes this
much money? Is the Martian getting rich? Who is
that? Does he pay tax or not?
To the above thesis, some logical elements must be
added in order to expose today’s blurred and treacherous
social relations.
Let us suppose that the richest people of the world have
deposited their money as an initial investment for loans in
some financial institutions, it is their money after all.
The list of the richest people in the world is as follows: Bill
Gates is the richest, Carlos Slim comes next, followed by
Warren Buffet… etc. Let us suppose that all the
billionaires in the world have $10,000 billion. This amount
of money is not even 10% of the debt of the whole world
