Japan was once set to overtake America… so what went wrong? 📉🇯🇵

In this 60-second economic case study, I explain how Japan experienced a massive economic boom between 1960 and 1989, driven by companies like Sony, Toyota, and Panasonic. Asset prices skyrocketed, and Japan became a global economic superpower.

But cheap loans created a massive bubble in real estate and stocks. When the Bank of Japan raised interest rates sharply, the bubble burst in 1990 — markets crashed, land prices collapsed, and banks suffered huge losses.

Instead of letting failing companies shut down, the government kept them alive, creating “zombie companies” that blocked innovation and slowed growth. This led to decades of stagnation, known as Japan’s Lost Decade.
