Rising Sun was really amusing to read after the Japanese economy collapsed. I remember when everyone said they were going to rule the world - now they're on their knees.

I am surprised there is not more written (at least in the US) about the reasons Japan has fallen so low. We studied their successes in the 80s and it is critical that we study their failures as well.

Ivan, this is a funny choice of words for this topic, don't you think? " now they're on their knees. " It could apply to the feminists and Bill Clinton.

Japanese economic power was the result of favorable U.S. policies. When the Cold War ended, the U.S. no longer had the same interest in propping up the Japanese economy.
I think Germany is now in the process of learning the same lesson.
