I hope they don't accept too many people, I don't want Japan to be flooded by too many outsiders, sure I want to move there but to have too many will dilute the Japanese nature of Japan. I also hope they don't get too capitalistic as too much capitalism tends to cause the country to become flooded with an ocean of outsiders who wash away the native culture.

My hope is Japan remains nationalistic, remains Japanese and retains that flavour and character.

Thank you for posting Jesper, interesting as always. Two quick questions ... 1) of the 1.6 million companies with no heir apparent, do we know roughly what portion are healthy or stable versus zombies? 2) regarding wealth transfer to the younger generation, what is your thought about the portion that is tied up in marginal real estate versus more liquid assets such as securities or death benefit annuities, etc? Just curious. Thanks as always.

Hoping this trend continues in the next decade. Planning to retire here during that time!

Are you not reading way too much into one year's worth of economic data?
