Borrowing levels have soared during recent global crises. Author and financier Mike O鈥橲ullivan asks if a reckoning is on the way. Have governments already accumulated so much debt that they won't have the resources left to handle聽the next big disaster - be it another pandemic, a war in Asia, or a global recession? And if so, which nations and regions are mostly likely to bear the brunt?
