Hitler was a compromise - he promised to get businesses going again and full employment.

And considering Japan's economic plight, and imperial past, this is an area of concern in that nation. The desire for a strong leader to shake the people out of despair, and to reawaken the economy with forced infrastructure spending and centralized controls, can be compelling in times of depression.

Japan's excessive public debt, aging population, and likely forthcoming massive withdrawal of savings, creates a prime environment for authoritarian rule. Now all they need is an evil enemy to distract the people from their problems, and it could get real interesting.

China....anyone?
