I have been searching for a list of public debt by country NOT of a % of gdp but I have been unable to find it. I do not have the time to calculate based on the GDP of the country what the actual public debt is. I thought that the reason they always list the public debt by GDP is to downplay the severity of the debt, to make it appear insignificant.
Have you tried this http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock? It is not a list but still…
Ok thanks.
