Japanization: What the World Can Learn from Japan's Lost Decades ELMAT: In 20 years this will be written about China. An in-depth look at Japan's economic malaise and the steps it must take to compete globally In "Japanization, Bloomberg" columnist William Pesek--based in Tokyo--presents a detailed look at Japan's continuing twenty-year economic slow-down, the political and economic reasons behind it, and the policies it could and should undertake to return to growth and influence. Despite new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's promise of economic revitalization, investor optimism about the future, and plenty of potential, "Japanization" reveals why things are unlikely to change any time soon. Pesek argues that "Abenomics," as the new policies are popularly referred to, is nothing more than a dressed-up version of the same old fiscal and monetary policies that have left Japan with crippling debt, interest rates at zero, and constant deflation. He explores the ten forces that are stunting Japan's growth and offers prescriptions for fixing each one. Offers a skeptical counterpoint to the popular rosy narrative on the economic outlook for Japan Gives investors practical and detailed insight on the real condition of Japan's economy Reveals ten factors stunting Japan's growth and why they are unlikely to be solved any time soon Explains why most of what readers believe they know about Japan's economy is wrong Includes case studies of some of the biggest Japanese companies, including Olympus, Japan Airlines, Sony, and Toyota, among others For many investors, businesspeople, and economists, Japan's long economic struggle is difficult to comprehend, particularly given the economic advantages it appears to have over its neighbors. "Japanization" offers a ground-level look at why its problems continue and what it can do to change course.

Perhaps you could summarize. I read quickly and don't have the patience to watch a YouTuber repeat themselves as they blather on about their not yet fully formed ideas. One observation I can make is someone like Trump is a nightmare client in legal proceedings where their habit of lying compulsively and frequently can end in prison even when the underlying crime might have been a parking ticket. Suddenly under oath you have to tell the truth regardless of how that conflicts with lies you've told previously. A client like that likely has no clear distinction in their mind between the truth and the lies they've told previously as their memory tends to be self-referential. I suspect like Jeff Sessions Trump would enthusiastically and voluminously commit perjury in an attempt to cover up any minor indiscretions or embarrassment.
