This framework can be used to evaluate the sustainability of a country's debt profile. The dynamics generated are based on the interaction and feedback between a government agent, a rating agency and the financial market in a stock-flow consistent manner.

A Framework to Evaluate the Sustainability of Debt

Investigations into the relationships responsible for the success and failure of nations. This investigation was prompted after reading numerous references on the subject and perceiving that *Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty* by Acemoglu and Robinson seem to make a great deal of sense.

When evidence is complex, incomplete, or emotionally threatening, people tend to accept stories that are plausible enough and meaning-creating, even if they are factually weak.

THE CAUSAL LOOP DIAGRAM (CLD) ILLUSTRATES A SOCIALLY DRIVEN DYNAMIC:

* Greater uncertainty increases the need for meaning, which leads to the acceptance of plausible stories.

* Once the story becomes identity-relevant, challenges to it are seen as a threat.

* Social repetition substitutes evidence.

Simulating Hyperinflation for 3650 days.

If private bond holdings are going down and the government is running a big deficit then the central bank has to monetize bonds equal to the deficit plus the decrease in private bond holdings. We don't show the details of the central bank buying bonds here, just the net results.

See blog at http://howfiatdies.blogspot.com for more on hyperinflation, including a hyperinflation FAQ.
