France Won’t Default. And That’s the Problem.

Governments will inflate away debt rather than default, eroding cash and bond purchasing power and favoring scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin.

• Debt-driven growth model: Aging populations (shrinking labor forces in China, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands) make debt the primary engine of GDP growth, Blokland argues.
• No default, just inflation: Policymakers won't let France or the US default; instead they'll print money, suppress interest rates, and inflate away debt.
