Скачать или смотреть Inflation in Japan

When we talk about inflation versus deflation, Japan is one of the most fascinating case studies. Unlike the U.S., which has been battling inflation, Japan has been stuck in a deflationary environment for decades. After the asset bubble burst in the 1990s, the country printed trillions of yen, yet prices barely moved. The Bank of Japan’s balance sheet ballooned to over 700 trillion yen, but inflation stayed near zero because people simply stopped spending. When an economy loses demand and confidence, no amount of money printing can bring prices back to life — and Japan is living proof of that.
