About This Course

Debt brought the world to its knees in 2008. Paradoxically, disaster was circumvented by doubling down with even more debt, deferring the consequences to sometime in the future. We believe that “sometime” will be in the decade of the 2020s

Boston University’s Professor Laurence Kotlikoff has documented the crisis in articles and lectures. It’s much worse than the official government figures when you add in what Dr. Kotlikoff calls “off-balance-sheet debt” that includes Social Security and Medicare.
