Creditopia (credit + utopia)

“Creditopia” (credit + utopia) has rarely been used, but could develop the same popularity of use as “Ecotopia” and “Ameritopia.” “‘Creditopia’ (credit card-utopia)” was cited in 1997. There was a “Creditopia” chapter in the book The New Depression: The Breakdown of the Paper Money Economy (2012) that explained how easy credit had created a “utopia for investors.” A blog article in January 2013 described “our ‘creditopia’ world.”

So there we have it, in our “creditopia” world, if debt does not expand, the economy cannot grow and jobs cannot be created. In order to increase debt, foreigners have to continually finance the ever growing debt by purchasing government bonds and selling consumer products to the US. In turn, the US must increase the level of consumption, decrease savings, and eliminate the threat of any nation posing a risk to the US dollar hegemony. Is this a symbiotic or a parasitic relationship? Is is certainly a relationship that cannot grow forever. It poses an economic risk for ALL nations due to the interconnectedness of the global economy.
