Pezz: This makes good and substantial reading. Will make sense to you too I hope: imes.boj.or.jp re <<I didn't pay too much attention to Japan at the time so I may be wrong about this but didn't they wait quite a bit before cutting rates? >> you may think different afterwards. dj

Yes Pezz, all in good fun. On Japan, being ahead of the curve or behind the curve can not make too much of a difference, except in reasonable time to recovery. The timing of the rate cuts cannot possibly explain away a decade long recession. Japan's severe banking problems were a function of the bubble, not the cause of the bubble's bursting. The political will to intervene, repeatedly, is necessary, as no government can possibly allow so many banks to collapse. I will stay with my explanation for 1929 and Japan 1989, as noted in response to CB's post.
