In countries that borrow in their own currency and can monetize the public debt, a sovereign debt crisis is unlikely, but monetization of fiscal deficits can eventually lead to high inflation. And inflation is – like default – a capital levy on holders of public debt, as it reduces the real value of nominal liabilities at fixed interest rates.
在那些以本币借债并且能够把公债货币化的国家，爆发主权债务危机的风险不大，但财政赤字的货币化最终将导致高通货膨胀。而通胀会稀释固定利率下名义债权的实际价值，本质上和违约一样，是对公债持有人强征资本税。
