Yes many do not see the economic aspects. Japan for example has a lost generation where not enough economic opportunities and that youth didn’t form families. So the economists and media basically blamed them as trouble makers when the expansion of debt puts prices too high.

In the US, a lost generation in some sense already formed. Look at the asset accumulation of boomers and even some Gen X. Basically the last decade to grow assets and a career was the 90s. The 2000s was a transitory decade where the debt hit critical mass and homes and education because too costly to form families.

When economists declare a lost generation, that youth will be blamed and the debt will be ignored. Why issue debt when it won’t be paid? That is the main question most policymakers ignore and why prices don’t come down because in essence the debt has to be erased if it can’t be paid.

That’s a big thing too. It used to be the norm to save up money and assets to pass on to your children, work to make their lives easier. Now every Gen X person I’ve ever met is “inheritance? Absolutely not. That’s my money not my kids’ money. I’m spending it all now while I can enjoy it”. Create an economy that requires constant flow of new workers, accumulate wealth and crash asset affordability, make new generations unable to afford children, lose flow of constant workers, economy fails

However history is clear about debt as it expanded, either devaluation or jubilee. Look into those terms to find your case studies. There is evidence of a debt jubilee coming due to the tariff economy growing. Tariffs and debt don’t mix. If the debt doesn’t get addressed, then devaluation and more lost generations.
