Ask your brother. Ask him if indeed Japan has not stimulated to the point where their indebtedness is much more than ours. Then ask him if he thinks there COULD be something else at play here. Demographics? Ask if there is a chance that with such a huge population of old people that that could be soaking up funds that under normal circumstances could be used to purchase goods and services that would keep their economy spinning? Two facts John; Japanese live longer than any other country AND their population is declining. Don't ask him to pick the economist with the best credentials - ask him to ponder the facts. qz.com
