The 5 biggest stories in the global economy, right now
Shocking democracy wins, the baby crisis, China's export threat & more

[LegaliseFinland]

The Economist must be honoured to work with such a big name

[sirshauniv]

We've got to the point where we've forgotten how drastically things can change. "This could never happen" is what people say right before said thing happens.

This video format is so good for getting economic news fast.

If you can at least make this video once every two weeks (once a week is preferrable) that would be awesome!

The incentives given to parents in western country are offset by house prices, inflexibke employment arrangements and lack of affordable childcare options; they either understaffed, or expensive or both or just not enough of them and not in cohesion with labour market demands

[MrBrockHeinz]

We're blessed by back-to-back _Money & Macro_ videos 🙏

[ericbaehr]

Honest question! How much did the Economist influence this video? I read the Economist regularly and listen to you for your unique perspective and research.

They found out in South Korea, their new capital has half the housing price of Seoul and guess what? The birth rate rose from 0.72 to 1.07 . Interestingly enough, who would've thought that housing affordability would play such a huge factor?

[kobitomer]

In Israel: Non-religious women have 1.9 children on average, traditional women have about 3 children, religious women have about 4, and extremely religious women have about 6.5 children on average. The total average for the country is about 3.

As a Brazilian, i must say that the Brazilian tarrifs against chinese goods wasn't well received by our people, as it was only asked by our reseller sector and not our manufacturing sector, and brazilian manufacturing is highly taxed here and also in a worse quality than a low price Chinese one.

[drgrey]

Oh great you're on daily uploads now, i think I speak for your whole audience when I say I will continue to expect this and will get very angry if you do not keep to this. Don't disappoint!

[thomasr]

The elephant in the room with declining birth rates is cultural changes. Among my peers it seems widely accepted that not having kids and living a DINK or even single lifestyle is okay or even encouraged, something I don’t think would have been true in distant generations. Even if economic incentives are ideal, I think it’s going to take another cultural change to get people excited about the benefits and detriments that come with raising kids.

[marvnch]

Awesome video, I regularly enjoy The Economist's stories and it's cool to see them partner with one of my favorite YT channels!

[SW-fkrb]

Oh wow, another money and macro video already? Bravo! 👏

[davrosdarlek]

I'm suprised the birth rate section didn't cover the only birth rate success stories. From what I remember Hungary managed to improve fertility rates by providing more affordable housing. Meanwhile South Korea is building a new city where birth rates are 50% higher than the national average (although the population is mostly comprised of civil servants).

[beccangavin]

Congrats on the partnership with The Economist! Commenting for the algorithm. I was very happy to get two M&M videos in a single week.

[zukacs]

Can you do story on Argentina please 🙏

[aadishgoel]

The Indian stock market fall after the election was due to
Uncertainty till the oath of PM. As Collations in India are allowed to change

so if certain members choose to support the other party, the other party could have formed govt too.
only after the oath, is the 6 months ban for changing sides to prevent frequent change.

[Sjsisooskwwn]

Just found your channel and I have to thank you for the work that you do. Too many clickbait channels out there these days and it’s really refreshing to have someone who presents all the info in a concise, nonbiased way. On another note, I was wondering if you’d be able to do a video or two on emerging southeast Asian economies and their growth stories for the foreseeable future?

Thank you for the videos!

[jokecaproens]

Thank you, Doctor Joeri, for another instructive video. How nice to see another video so soon!

[ericgardiner]

As someone in South Africa I must say that there have been a lot of very positive signs in the weeks since the election, the currency has strengthened, power cuts have ended and corrpt politicians are being raided and charged.
