Resumo: The theme of this thesis is debt as a biopolitical device, its impact on the production of the subjects and the primordial role it plays in the neoliberal capitalist system. Rather than analyzing it from common sense, which understands debt as that which opposes wealth, this research notes that, in fact, debt functions as a driver of wealth. In this sense, debt and wealth no longer exclude to form an alliance in the capitalist system. It is precisely in this connection that the subjects and their ways of life are constituted. In the specific case of Brazil, government debt is used to finance part of the Union's budget. By levying company taxes and paying interest to capital holders, creditors receive a significant portion of what is paid by society to the state, finding there is a path of permanent enrichment. In this political-financial circuit, the Union strengthens banks, funds and other private institutions through the payment of interest and, thus, deepens social crises. A vicious cycle that generates an illegitimate debt is triggered. The theoretical basis is supported by authors like David Graeber, Fatorelli, Foucault, Margarett Atwood, Mauricio Lazzarato, Michael Hudson, among others that we will present in the course of this research. The corpus of the thesis are documents, reports, essays, reports and news published in social media that show the impact of illegitimate public debt on Brazilian daily life and the colonial and neoliberal traces that haunt the way lenders and debtors deal with it. The relevance of the thesis is to contribute to the complexization of debt studies by approaching theories formulated in different fields of knowledge such as economics, history of economic thought, political philosophy and communication
