Resumen
En el debate nacional sobre temas públicos de actualidad, destaca en los últimos meses la gran controversia que se ha generado en torno a los orígenes, causas, magnitud y consecuencias de la deuda pública interna. Y como este tema se vincula estrechamente con nuestras concepciones sobre el Estado y el papel de éste en la economía y en la sociedad, es sumamente difícil que nuestras opiniones al respecto se puedan liberar enteramente de prejuicios y estereotipos ideológicos, lo mismo que de determinados intereses materiales concretos. Todos tendemos a acercarnos a los problemas que analizamos con ciertas ideas preconcebidas, limitando nuestro entendimiento a lo que nos es familiar y habitual, condicionados por nuestro ambiente, por los intereses que nos afectan, por la experiencia previa sobre el tema, y por todo tipo de circunstancias en que nos desenvolvemos. Por este motivo, es de crucial importancia que los grandes problemas nacionales se filtren a través de un amplio y democrático debate público, que además debe ser adecuadamente conducido.
