The second image shows Japanese GDP plotted from 1980 to 2006. It shows our once 18% GDP down to a a modest 9.1% in 2006. Furthermore, the text on the right explains that we’ve gone from the world’s highest GDP per capita to the world’s 18th. It’s really no wonder we’re having a hard time getting attention in Japan. With an aging population and a less-than-competitive economy, there are ways to manage, but you don’t get there by denying the facts and continuing to beat you chest IMHO.

why japan is screwed. the same thing will happen to switzerland as well
