It is the aim concerning this chapter to interrogate the question of whether limits to public debt live in a “Old-Keynesian”-like intertemporal equilibrium model of automatic unemployment. As well-known, skilled is still no consensus between macro-economists about the comprehensive equilibrium foundations of Keynes’ [1] idea of involuntary inaction in a perfectly functioning market saving. While macro-economists concur that involuntary inaction is traced back to a lack of aggregate demand (aggregate demand failures), they are still detached about the reasons for aggregate demand remaining beneath full-employment amount. A majority observing to the New Keynesian approach of micro-organized, dynamic general balance models refers aggregate demand failures back to difficult prices sluggishly adapting to retail imbalances due to adaptation costs and imperfect competition (for a survey of former contributions Dixon [2] and for the more current dynamic theory of probability general equilibrium (DSGE) models [3], and Woodford [4]). A youth of general-evenness oriented macro-economists trace aggregate demand disappointments back to inflexible aggregate property which does not indifferently adapt to aggregate savings in spite of prices clear perfectly aggressive markets [5] and Magnani [6]. While Magnani [6] incorporated inflexible aggregate asset in Solow’s [7] growth model, in this place chapter automatic unemployment and inflexible aggregate finance are modeled in a Diamond [8]-type coinciding generations (OLG) economy accompanying production, tangible and human capital accumulation and money owed by country in line with Farmer and Kuplen [9] and Farmer [10]. This model is used to investigate the question of either in the face of automatic unemployment, limits to public debt can and/or should be respected, or clearly disregarded. It is erect that limits to public debt to output percentages exist; and their mathematical values are calculated. Moreover, a arrears threshold show up whereby best public debt diminishes profit growth. In fact, the mathematical value of the debt beginning is found expected close to World Bank estimates. While these results are cheering, the problem of micro-groundworks for inflexible aggregate money remains open. Two promising approaches to answer this problem are soon reviewed at the end.
