The problem with formulating it like this is it makes readers think that the set of people is a small-ish set of globalists or capitalists (or insert conspiratorial "others" as appropriate). But the set is far from small: basically anyone who ever wants to acquire debt for any reason (most common reasons include "attend college", "buy a car", or "buy a house"), or anyone who wants to profit from lending money to people, which is a fancy way of saying anyone who wants to invest money (such as buying stocks or bonds).
If we're modeling the flow of value (in the more abstract), then holders of most currencies on the planet have real value constantly flowing away from them... by virtue of inflation.
Or in a larger macro sense, positive central bank interest rates create a requirement for everyone to acquire some debt in order to counterbalance the drag.
