Criticism[edit]

Is the the majority of the "At household level" paragraph in the criticism section needed? Actually not even sure why most of the criticism section is even included. ThorOdinsonThor (talk) 16:49, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The criticism section needs rewriting. Here are some relevant references:

Debt vs liability[edit]

Is there any difference between debt and liability (as used in accounting)? Nemohuman (talk) 21:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Debts are created by borrowing and court orders. An obligation that does not arise from either of these is a liability, but not a debt. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 19:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
