WHEN JAPAN COLLAPSES
http://theburningplatform.com/blog/2010/09/15/when-japan-collapses/

Especially significant to me was the chart depicting the savings rate


really funny...

I wonder what Jesper Koll would say about that article?

This "imminent collapse" stuff is very much starting to sound like "the bomb" did during the cold war.

Keep calm, carry on.

An author can pick any chart to support his thesis and ommit the ones that contradict it. In this case, I agree with the author. I am one of those who believe that Japan will become an insignificant economy in the not too distant future. They have had a free ride exporting their way to prosperity but now there's China, India, Brasil, Vietnam, all getting in the export market. There is nothing left for Japan to create wealth. They have no natural resources and other than cars and electronics no brand name products to expand abroad. I think there's at best 20 years of life left in that economy before it becomes another Brasil and Argentina.

A fuck of a lot can (and will) happen in 20 years. Trying to predict where Japan will be that far out is impossible. (Trying to predict anything that far out is impossible.)

Twenty years ago, the equivalent schmucks like that blogger were predicting that Japan was going to run the planet.

James Fallows, of The Atlantic, comes to mind.

1. You're now several kilometres away; and

2. You've got their shoes.
