Opinions of Global Elites

Growth of the economy with the industrial policy made Japan the second largest economy. With the success of the economy created by “Japanism”, Japan relied on its success and did not improve its economic system. This caused the stagnation of the economy for over 30 years.
Mr. Tabuchi points out the reasons of the stagnation: national debt, aging population, and Japanism. He indicates the ways in which Japan can regain its economic prosperity with his ideas and his views. Below is the list of these items:
