Episode Details

What's happening in Japan is a preview of where the United States is heading. Jay breaks down how Japan's crushing debt, collapsing yen, rising borrowing costs, and dependence on imported oil could ripple into American bond markets, the dollar, and the price of hard assets. He explains why Washington already copied Japan's playbook — zero rates, quantitative easing, yield curve control — and why Tokyo running out of road could signal a much larger financial problem heading for the U.S.
