TJ printing hurts the lender. The lender doesn't have the upper hand. Compare that when capital was hoarded and scarce. It was spread only under a very controlled manner and only to governments. Globalization changed that. If you want to invest in Brazil you're welcome to take the risk. But the whole country will not be at risk from loans it would have taken to feed state-owned enterprises that practice political pricing and can never pay the principal, defaulting and creating a crisis every ten years. Japan is fighting not to return to the insignificance it came from. It does with the only two things it has. Capital and an industrial base. Combining the two to keep going. It needs countries to buy its Toyotas cars and NEC microwave equipment. Its sogo shosha no longer operate in products, they operate in services. They brought Japan to where it is and will try to keep is up there.
