Most large enterprises carry debt: is that bad?
Posted by Feanor on May 20, 2023 at 14:00:28:
Stable, moderately successful corporations carry pretty much as much debt as they can because it means that shareholders get all the up-side, (and the downside too of course but that's not why the corps carry the debt).
Typically corporate debt is rolled over, NOT repaid in full. On the contrary, the debt is planned to increase with the growth of the enterprise.
How then is national debt so different from corporate debt?
