I have created a video on Youtube of what happens if a debt limit is enforced in a modern economy (spoiler: bad things). It is based on a simple Stock-Flow Consistent model.
The Youtube URL in case the above embedded video does not work: http://youtu.be/928QLfMlBvM
This video is a bit of a technology test on my part.
A longer explanation of what is happening within the model (including simplifications made) is given in this blog post:

Note: if you want to post comments from Apple devices (iPhone, iPad), you apparently need to turn off "prevent cross-site tracking" in Safari privacy settings. (The reason presumably is that another URL handles comments, and so the user session needs to be preserved when redirected to that site. I don't like this, but this is not enough to make me switch my hosting service.)
