Скачать или смотреть How the U.S. Murdered Japan’s Economy (In One Day)

In 1985, Japan was on track to become the world's greatest economic superpower. The land under the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was worth more than the entire state of California, and Japanese corporations were buying up American icons like Rockefeller Center. The U.S. government was terrified.

But on September 22, 1985, everything changed. In a secret meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York, the U.S. forced Japan to sign a document that would wipe out trillions of dollars of wealth and send their country into a 30-year stagnation. This wasn't a war fought with guns; it was an assassination committed with a fountain pen.

In this documentary, we uncover the true story of the Plaza Accord—the "Economic Pearl Harbor" that turned the Japanese Miracle into the Lost Decades. Discover how a currency trap, a real estate bubble, and a diplomatic betrayal destroyed an empire overnight.
