Why Japan Has Been Economically Dead for 30 Years

追加: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Japan lost three entire decades of growth. One bubble destroyed everything.

[00:00:04]In 1989, Japan's stock market collapsed violently. Real estate prices fell 80%.

[00:00:09]Banks froze. Companies stopped investing. Wages stagnated for 30 straight years. Japan's GDP barely moved since 1995. Deflation became the new normal. People stopped spending, expecting prices to fall. Government debt hit 260% of GDP. That's the highest in the world. Demographics made it worse. Japan's population is rapidly shrinking. No workers means no growth.

[00:00:33]The last decade became three lost decades.
