Frances Coppola on the UK economy and Japan

Summary:
To discuss the UK economy, Japan, and falling oil prices, Erin talked to Frances Coppola – associate editor at Pieria and blogger at Coppola Comment. Frances tells us where she thinks Europe is headed and gives us her take on the London housing market. She also discusses what lessons she thinks the UK and US can learn from Japan. If Japanese real wages are stagnant and the population is both aging and declining, why should we expect credit growth, higher spending or capital investment to meet that spending? Frances also opines on the degree to which adding reserves to the monetary system is simulative or increases lending.
