Money. Whose is it?

The UK is in a staggering amount of debt.Soon enough it will be trillions it would seem. So is the USA. So is almost all of the developed world. 


The Banks , again all over the world, are being bailed out left right and centre, they only have the money they are being (wrongly) dished out.


So to whom exactly is all this money owed? Is it owed?  Who holds it? Does it exist? Will it ever exist? Are the numbers on a screen that express this debt, merely a way to exert control? And who exactly is exerting this control? 


I am glad to be ignorant in theses matters, but I seriously doubt if there is anything like a pleasant answer to any of these questions.
