Zombie economyWhy is Japan struggling so badly to hit their peak at the moment?
What does that mean?Zombie economy
The central bank have ultra low rates and buy shares in companies keeping unsustainable corporates just about alive. Population is ageing rapidly.What does that mean?
Oh so they actually should be a lot lower if it wasn't for the central bank propping up certain companies.The central bank have ultra low rates and buy shares in companies keeping unsustainable corporates just about alive. Population is ageing rapidly.

now if you could relate this somewhere closer to home....Propping up failing companies might save you some short term pain, but it will leave you much worse off in the long run.
These zombie companies devour resources that would go elsewhere if they were allowed to fail.
The whole point of capitalism and free markets it that capital goes where the demand is, and to those who can meet than demand better than anyone else. That's human as well as financial capital. And if government and central banks prop up companies that would otherwise fail, it stops that process from happening. It stops capital moving where it could be employed most efficiently.
Think of it as central bankers propping up farms that still use a horse and cart after others have switched to tractors.
Of course in the short term there is a lot of disruption as people who used to work in the fields and looking after the horses and so on lose their jobs, but in the long term we are much better off having made the switch to tractors.
Intervention stops that happening.
