Sigmund,

as in Freud? Curious comment about contentment of majority of Japanese to be in a slight depression. A great many small business owners are finding it next to impossible to borrow money. Even successful businesses turning a profit. Money is tight to all. Puts a lid on job creation. The young are getting restless. Academia is supremely pissed off at inaction by politicians.

Excellent article in Barrons last week on possible solution. Since interest rates are 0.5% and CPI is dropping into negative ground, real rate of inflation is increasing in the midst of this deep recession. Only possible solution is to allow for rapid money supply growth, while allowing dead banks to die. Much of new money would be to set bigger healthy banks on right footing. But the key is to allow inflation to return in a constructive fashion, thereby encouraging spending. A meagre inflation rate would reduce real rate of inflation. Interesting article.
