Based on that, Furman and Summers suggest the debt-GDP ratio standard we have had can be a bit misleading. I am not sure if the ESRI or the Furman and Summers paper itself gave the example of borrowing for a mortgage and accruing equity in a home. The suggestion is we need a new conversation about investing to accrue assets and value.
