The increasing debt has little if anything to do with outsourcing. It's not that they are closely related, it is that the borrowing is hiding the effects of shift to low paying jobs and the elimination of small business that is a side effect of globalization. It's a policy of increasing stratificaion as the masses find a common equality of the lowest wage, while those who own the assets gain vast wealth. I agree with that but that has more to do with other issues like how a nation taxes its wealthiest members and how those tax resources are redistributed. I think you can more generally say that the stratification is a result of policies which force individuals to act as individuals instead of organizing into groups. This puts anyone who cannot hire expertise at a disadvantage to those who can. This is related to outsourcing since there is no international coordination for worker benefits. TP
