Merryn Talks Money

What Japan’s Angry Voters Mean for Your Money and Falling Fertility

In this week's roundup, Merryn is back with Money Distilled newsletter author John Stepek. They focus on Japan. There was an election on Sunday that left the country without a clear winner for the first time since the 1990s. They discuss what that means for the world’s fourth-largest economy-- what it could mean for markets. They also discuss fertility rates in both Japan and the UK.  Last chance to register:  Join us at Bloomberg on Oct. 31, the morning after the Budget, for a taping of the podcast in front of an audience.
