Mucho, Please elucidate the similarities and the differences between the US today and Japan in the late 1980s. Also, show us how Japanese financial institutions in the 1980s differed from US financial institutions today. Please tell us what specific reforms the US accomplished during the late 1980s that makes comparisons between 1990 Japan and 2000 US so difficult.

As a bonus please show us how the Japanese paradox of thrift depresses output and holds stock prices down.

As a triple bonus please show us how the flight of cheap capital in Japan after the collapse caused a contraction in the rate of growth in the Japanese export sector.

Also, if you can answer this question correctly you will win my super bonus econ prize:

What single event or series of events contributed the most to creating the nearly decade long Great Depression:

A. The Federal Reserve raising short term interest rates.
B. The Stock Market Crash of 1929
C. Hoover's lack of action in proposing a fiscal stimulus.
D. The failure of the Bank of the United States (a private institution)

Food for thought:

Do the high profit margins and growth rates in software production justify a higher P/E than the historical P/E of the technology sector prior to the advent of firms e.g., Microsoft or Oracle?
