I don't feel that any national authority can stimulate growth by monetary policy. A nation I feel would do much better with a fixed rate of return on their own bonds and investment vehicles. The needs of the people their desire for self expansion generates growth. I feel Japan problem is very similar to ours on the world market they are pricey. That means at some point their price of goods will have to be reduced to be competitive. The free market I feel will dictate it own time. I would never attempt to jump start anything as technology is world and labor costs are the problems of both economic powers at present. Both powers face the same problems Taiwan does only on a macroeconomic scale not micro. At this point I would tighten up on currency to try keep that stable. I would be running their fed as a profitable business and this is to me the simple way to do so. It seems very simple, when a business produces too many products they can't sell the products, they take a loss. You can't change the economic conditions that have developed all you can do is protect your dollar. Less dollars mean less inflation less labor costs more greed too as they are harder to get. Terribly tough thing to do on the political front but i feel it would work. A more mature society has to work on the base of stable and less inflation they have no choice as less developed societies have a much larger and less expensive labor pool to draw from. It would be tough for a few years but then long range i feel you actually would add strength to your nation by curbing costs and increasing the value of the dollar. The free markets desire to better self would take care of progress. This is a very simple explanation RB but it is the best i can do on a post.
