"Japan's economic planners" I have never believed in those "economic planners". But there are some kick-ass engineers in Japan, and they don't need bureaucrats to tell them what to do. As I have said repeatedly, Japan's problems are political and, to a lesser degree, social. The bureaucrats did not do much of anything to create the successful Japan, and they are even more irrelevant now -- except by the size of the failure of their "public works" spending and the ruining of their public finances as a result. What Japan needs is a new political direction and restructuring -- and it is the latter that calls into question the tough social issues.
