Debt
Debt—and the aversion to it—defines the post-financial-crisis era. Developed economies are still recovering from the debt-fueled boom that burst in 2008.

Whether it’s hedge funds crusading against Argentina or China’s effort to keep its housing market from toppling, debt is at the heart of many big stories.
