A Japan recovery??? No such a chance. Japan's development was exports fuelled. A set of particular circumstances allowed for that: 1) Had the psychological impulse for re-built after WW II devastation. 2) The gains resulting from the destruction of the belligerent caste wiped out by the US mandate. 3) No competition for the goods exported, neither for the copy-cat approach. 4) A whole world re-building after WW II devastation. 5) A Younger population hell-bent on reconstructing the country. Not a single of those circumstances are the anymore. Hence Japan will shrink back to its previous insignificance.
