Overview[edit]

I have changed "incredibly large" to "excessive", another word that came to mind is "unmanageable".

In relation to the statement "first identified by Myers", I've changed the wording to "first discussed", as the problem of debt overhang is as old as the world of commerce. Scartboy (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article unnecessarily confusing and atrocious? --Mgunn (talk) 21:17, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion it is not. LevelBasis (talk) 11:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citations Needed[edit]

This article discusses an important subject in economics: the influence of existing debt on the future behavior of consumers, businesses and government. It is poorly sourced, however. I propose that this article should be flagged as needing help, and someone with knowledge of the subject should add citations and edit the existing text as appropriate.
