Forget Lost Decade, Japan Has Been 'Losing' Since WWII
Forget lost decade (or two), Japan's economic growth trajectory has fallen, almost unbroken, since the end of World War II... just one more decade, we are sure is all it will take to revive this Keynesian catastrophe... (one way or another)...

Keep trying it though... Abenomics - FTMFW!!!

Japan is an American colony, O/C its been bled dry.
I'd hate to see the consequences for being lost longer than that.
Yep, Japan has done nothing since 1945.

Yup. Reminds me of Calvin Trillin...,
"Some things are so stupid, they could only be said by an intellectual."
They know where Hawaii is now......
Or by a shill who can't get enough of Putin's cock.

Watch this utube movie, princes of yen, to get a much better idea of Japan's reality:

Essentially, Japan stayed on a wartime footing after the war, and directed credit into production of "peacetime goods." They used a credit window to control VOLUME of credit money in supply. The PATH of this money benefited the people as it was into production. Japan did very well under this system, rising to become the worlds second largest economy and with a very high standard of living.
The Bank of Japan wanted to break this system, probably under orders from international banksters via BIS. The immense bubble pushed by BOJ made Japan worth more than the continental U.S.
Credit money was created against Land and Property, typical of this money type. BOJ became a credit pusher, giving any warm body a loan. This pushes land asset classes relative to other classes. The U.S, did the same during its housing bubble as FIRE sector (private bank credit) is always associated with land and insurance.
BOJ purposefully popped the bubble once it was inflated enough, in order to reap the harvest. Debt instruments, with inflated values, remained in place, but former credit as money was being recalled to ledger for destruction, thus collapsing money supply into depression.
This harvest was necessary to create a crises, which then allowed BOJ to become "independent" which is really code for being like other western central banks under the BIS. Structural Reform was the "code words" used during the crises in order to get the legal changes desired by BOJ.
Watch the movie.
Bring back the zero , the 754 and that little Datsun pickup
If they could uncensor their porn, their GDP would go parabolic.
Its a world economy, with bankers skimming from the top, while governments always go for the bottom line. Governments will give anything to the bankers as long as they are allowed to sit in the big chair.
The formula of bankers skimming from the top and government skimming from the bottom works great until the top and bottom meet and there's nothing left in the middle.
The trajectory of the percentage of GDP going to banking, real estate and isurance at the expense of manufacturing tells much of the picture.
The Gov is the bank and the bank is the Gov.........
Wouldn't the same logic allow me to draw a line back to 1896 and the Sino-Japenese war?
The Japanese are so efficient they outdid the U.S. in manufacturing just about everything 30 years after we nuked them into submission.
Too bad they adopted the Economic Alchemy of U.S. Universities and think-tanks, because they are efficiently beating us to default and collapse.
Japanese excel at everything, for the good and... for the worse.
No shit Sherlock, a nation's economic growth slows as they develop and finish postwar reconstruction.
The chart does not match the commentary -- from the mid-50's to the early-70's Japan was kicking Amrican butts and effectively shut down the American electronics industry. Then Japan started to dominate the auto industry. Through the late-80's the strong Yen and (yes) speculation in real estate and stocks let the Japanese buy the world. It is the end of that speculative bubble -- which was fought and defended by the BofJ -- that has led to 25 years of no growth. Had the BofJ let the bubble fully collapse and the economy re-set itself -- Japan would have had a chance to recover and grow. We have the same problem with the US -- after the bubble collapse of 2007-2009 it was inflated again rather than letting the economy re-set and wages and prices normalize.
And because both Japan and the US have spent too much money and accumulated too much debt since the 1980's - nearly all remaining manufacturing in both countries was forced to move to China -- effectively ending any hope for either country.
Debt of Honor shall be repaid!
Standard of living of Japanese people skyrocketed under 40 years of fully controlled markets and highly protectionist trade and capital flows where free marketers were being shut or imprisoned. After that Fatty gluttonous japanese global banksters swallowed, hard earned economic wealth, whole and then spewed rotten, stinking remains all over global scene.
Japan is dying, literally. Country's all hollowed out, loosing to China and to the world, nothing left in Japan except for some specialty dual use tech which they desperately want to sell, by changing their peaceful constitution, making China angry.
There is almost no family formations in Japan, Abenomics, caused massive capital flight, worst then from Russia, massive debt, deflation of purchasing power, loosing jobs and instead of stimulating, pauperized population of traditional savers, which are being robe blind as we speak.
Any Japanese, believing in any king of relieve from 25 years of purposeful slump, via global oligarch driven programs pushed by son of WWII executed war criminal, must be insane. What they will get, is to briefly going back to the future to fascism and Japanese Imperialism before China finally squashes it.
After almost 4 years since Fukushima NPP disaster Japanese government infused with TEPCO did nothing but lying to people. The decommission of the Fukushima NPP planed for at least 38 years has not started yet since they simply do not know what to do. All their attempts to mitigate MINOR problem to remove of highly radioactive water leakages utterly failed, while major task ahead of them, removal of melted down nuclear fuel is not even on agenda yet.
Hundreds of thousand of people wanting to come back to the affected areas, are red taped, and harassed so they themselves give up they houses, properties and businesses, while they are not being told that, nuclear pollution at their sites are so deadly and the land is useless for thousands of years and it’s economically unviable to do anything about it.
And somehow Abe won elections against fundamental interests of Japanese population. It proves one thing that whole scene of mafia style political system in Japan is so corrupted that even voting trolls, courtiers of bankster run system, see no difference, in such madness driven kamikaze economy. If Japanese imperial elites does not wake up from their torpor and re-focus on supporting working young families, in 100 years Japan will be no more to delight of their neighbors.
I wonder, if bankster government, as recommends it to their citizen, will commit hara-kiri in solidarity with the nation. But I doubt that.
The Emperor and the some Elite who are still loyal to Japan can't do nothing, like I said many time before, Japan is USA's bitch, also the population is abandoning Japanese societal norms, tradition in favor of the crappy Western one (see the tentative of gender politics implementation right now with the GS goon Kathy Matsui).
Bringing back Japan is about removing any negative influence from both the Elite and the general population. Try doing that without going back to fascism or authoritarianism...
No country will rise again with the dumbocracy and "vote", peoples are too dumb and the Elite are corrupted beyond repair.
Japan is dying, and will die, no recovery.
