not enough immigrants from somalia and north africa.

Nothing. They're fine. Infinite number growth is a meme. Most Japanese industries are still peerless.

The Japanese post WW2 economy was run similar to the war economy with consumer good instead of munitions, when the "old guard" economists retired and died off the new generation tried to implement free markets like the west and then the economy collapsed and never recovered

Free markets are the ultimate meme

I find the Japanese economic policy fascinating.
Because it kind of works... When it really shouldn't.
Japan suffers from a lack of innovation and entrepreneurship, they rely on big business a lot.
But, i think they're setting their economy up to survive the age structure of the population. Something no other country in the world seems to be doing (aka Germany importing workers for decades now)

Always wondered:
Why did this guy win the noble prize? He crashed the economy of an entire nation in the ground. Did they actually think he was a genius before that?

Coerced into signing the plaza accord after yellow peril.

Having a hell of a lot of companies holding monopolies / majority market share of a certain product will do that to you.

Growth for the sake of growth is the definition of a cancer.

If Japan's population is not growing then their economy not shooting up is not a bad thing.
