After 34 Years, Japan Has Finally Recovered

After 34 Years, Japan Has Finally Recovered - What Now?

Күн бұрын

After a grueling 34-year-long bear market, the Japanese stock market has finally recovered past its 1989 peak. What started as a lost decade for Japan turned into lost decades and the only reason that Japan was eventually able to recover was thanks to the government taking on massive debt and engaging in quantitative easing. Japan is the most indebted nation in the world in terms of debt to GDP. Many are wondering if Japan will be able to make a comeback now that they have fully recovered but that doesn’t seem likely. The reality is that modern generations and the Western world are no longer looking for the same attributes that made Japanese products successful in the first place. Japan made a name for themselves making affordable and reliable products. While people still very much value affordability and reliability, they’re often looking for more than just that, and it’s not clear if Japanese companies will be able to deliver. This video explains the fall and recovery of Japan and discusses if Japan has a brighter future ahead.

As an Asian, have to admit that our culture and education systems are really good at working harder, better, and making things more efficient. But the same culture and education also instill conformity and taught to think in a rigid way, hence we are not creative. While western culture is quite the opposite, with it's independent, free thinking and tolerance for being different, even though sometimes these traits also cause different kinds of problems.

I was lucky to do a degree in France a while ago, and after having conversations with local people and contacts that I had, there was a common subject, where latinos and asian people made a good couple. There was allways a history of a marriage between these cultures when talking about past groups of students from the same program that I was. I even had the same experience with an asian girl where we simply could have endless conversations, sadly I lost her contact given the limitations of China in social media and internet in general. It makes kind of sense, opposite mindsets with some similarities, where education and efficiency from one side combined with "calid emotions" and leisure from the other one. The same applies with europeans and latinos, but with their own advantages and disadvantages. From my side, I also have to admit that sometimes mexicans on my case make things complicate when it comes to emotional awareness, and sometimes we forget the importance of things because "we prefer to chill" and dance or drink a good beer instead.

Japan doesn't need to lead, they just need to maintain their ranking. Since the lack of visionary culture of japan and more on discipline and structure, they are hard to crumble. All they need to do is copy/follow the visionary's path without the need to be the first. Eventually the visionaries would fail by their nature of high risk and another sets of visionaries will replace them but as long a japan follows/copy the script of the visionaries applying their natural disciplined approach without the need to be the first, they're good.

The thing is that Japan has a high level of private debt and japanese companies are focused on paying of their debt not on R&D, of course some R&D and general development is taking place but not that much. If the japanese state was able to sufficently stop the debt deflation and push the economy to expand by getting private companies to invest more in growth and R&D they could kickstart the economy. However quatitative easing(QE) is giving money to the rich and banks not to the worker class and middle class and the money often ends up at the hands of bankers not capitalists so if the economy could be stimulated another way that might work. If the japanese state was to run a bigger budget deficit that would increase the money supply according to mmt(modern monetary theory) which could then increase demand and increase inflation. If this inflation is combined with wage rises and companies have the ability to compensate by taking up loanes in the short term and increasing prices in the long term then the debt would be easier to pay of and it would become easier to start a new boom of compaines taking up loanes to fund investment.

Teslas's sales down in Q1 -- and Toyota, Mazda, and Honda all saw double digit sales growth in North America. And yes, Sony INVENTED the Walkman. Also, the Pixel phones are a HUGE success in Japan.

And I believe the Japanese are right again on the future of vehicles. Japanese are a cold, logical thinking people, they can discern BS from something that truely has potential, which is proven in their adventure with hybrid vehicle, the only thing they're hurrying too much in my opinion is hydrogen tech, which of course is the ultimate clean non-nuclear fuel.

Japan has always had me questioning the metrics of success. Despite being stagnant and deflationary for 3 decades, quality of life remained 1st world. While the rest of the world (especially English speaking) complains about stagnant wages, housing becoming unaffordable, and growing wealth inequality - Japan's deflation seems enviable to a standard consumer. It's only now that I see mumbling online about how wages are too low as the yen weakens and inflation kicks in and Japanese are struggling, just in time for reports to say the economy is finally growing. Maybe things were always tough and I was just ignorant, maybe it was just a matter of time before things caught up with the numbers. But this sounds a lot like the recent trend of economists telling Americans like me that the widespread worsening of financial situations isn't real because the economy is growing.

Economic stagnation doesn’t have to automatically equal a bad thing. That being said it’s generally bad because most places are not like Japan with a declining population. So Japan at the moment was able to do fine because the overall pie was being shared by a shrinking number of people. It is worth pointing out however that Japan has had it incredibly rough. You would not want to work in Japan because you are expected to work extremely long hours. Promotions are heavily based on company loyalty not necessarily based on skill or talent either. Obviously there is a good side to every bad but Japan has always had their own problems to deal with. The population issues is a meaningful one though for many countries across the globe though as young people are necessary in order for many social schemes to continue to work and in order to maintain national security.

A few other things: 1. Japanese companies' culture is based, more so than in America, on the prioritization of employees as opposed to shareholders. This is great for the people of Japan but not great for the investor class of Japan. Their first instinct is to see the firm's resources as a potential benefit for employees. Lifetime employment is very important, as is not laying people off. 2. American corporations tend to maximize corporate performance, while the CEOs of Japanese companies tend to prioritize long-term survival. So when a company makes money, they're more likely to hold onto it as a reserve that will better-enable the company to ride out the economic storm. 3. There's a cultural preference to do business in ways that are proven, even when they are inventing technology that isn't. They are therefore reluctant to finance high-risk/high-return investments. All of this stuff means, essentially, that Japanese firms tend to have very low returns on equity even while doing business and producing products that are the envy of the world. They're a living example of how a great product is not necessarily the same thing as a great business, which is still not necessarily the same thing as a great investment. Combine that with an aging population with a declining childbirth rate and it's clear that they're far from their economic potential. It's heartbreaking, really, because they're something of a miracle. How such a small country, with no natural resources, could dominate the second half of the 2nd century, is a fantastic achievement. Hopefully they can return to some of their future glory.

Really good video but I feel like the last part made too many assumptions based on specific markets. In the UK and Europe for example, Android phones are far more popular than iPhones.

Great video but the comparison of the Pixel is wrong. Sure, sales numbers are low but I have a Pixel 8 Pro after trying an iPhone 15 Pro Max for almost 2 months. Compared to the Pixel 8 Pro, it was laggy, picture quality was worse, tons of features were either missing or significantly worse, and the build quality was disappointing. I can't understand how people still think iPhones are either innovative or high quality. I think it's more of the pain of switching their mobile OS and the proprietary iMessage that many of their friends use. Ugh.

@danielhalachev4714 Ай бұрын

It's not even the pain of switching. People are simply brainwashed into buying a brand, not a product. They are like sheep and want to stay with the flock. Nothing more than this.

It hit me a while ago, that really the only long term measure of a country's success that matters is its birth rate and life expectancy, because all the money in the world means nothing if there will be no one to spend it in 50 years, and if population can only grow by immigration then that means in the best case scenario they assimilate and which means they'll have a birth rate like that of the natives within 1 or 2 generations, or in the worst case scenario they don't assimilate and the host country just becomes a colony of the source country.

@peterparker7738 Ай бұрын

Lol. You've missed the mark completely mate. People buy an iPhone and a Tesla for the same reason - IMAGE. That's it. The fact that Toyota isn't embracing EVs is going to be great for all of us normal consumers because the EV is not the answer to a fully ICE vehicle. That's a completely separate argument. The EV craze is already settling down and hybrid vehicles are going to give us the range we want, the economy we need and the flexibility when it comes to refuel.

The yen has collapsed, consumer prices are up quite a bit (except for foreign visitors what with the collapsing yen), home prices and stock prices are heading to bubble territory not supported in their rise by fundamentals but by money pouring in from speculators from across the world including China, HK, Singapore...

i think part of the reason why america dominated internet tech companies is because of our language. English is required to code, it is the most spoken language in the world, it used less ram since ASCII is widely supported while japan has 3 writing systems, ~2000 commonly used chinese characters. Japanese games at the time were limited by their own lang because it couldnt it all. Now a days its not as big of an issue. China is in a lucky position due to its population sustaining its own market but due to "communism" being a dirty word, it might not expand
