This book tells the story of the performance of Japan s economic
and political institutions starting in the late 1970s through late
2007. The authors explain how Japan s flawed response to new
economic, political, and technological forces requiring more open
markets and more democratic political institutions ushered in a
lost decade and a half of economic development from 1990 to 2005.
Japan s impressive economic performance in the 1980s in fact masked
an accident waiting to happen, the accident being the burst of the
bubble in equity and real estate prices in 1990 and 1991. Japan s
iron triangle of politicians, bureaucrats, and client industries,
combined with a flawed financial liberalization process and policy
errors by the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance, brought
Japan to an abyss of deflation, recession, and insolvency by the
late 1990s. The turning point was the election of Koizumi as prime
minister in 2001. Koizumi took advantage of important institutional
changes in Japan s electoral system and policy making and
implemented many changes in economic policy. The book explores
Koizumi s economic reform, new developments in Japanese people s
socioeconomic conditions, the politics and economy after Koizumi,
and the economic and political challenges facing Japan in the new
century.
