Japan

Over the past half century, the tremendous growth followed by the apparent stagnation of the Japanese economy has drawn analysis from observers around the world. Recently, much of this commentary has focused on a Japan grappling with low birth rates, an aging society and the aftermath of the March 11, 2011 disasters; prior to the advent of “Abenomics,” much was made of the supposed “Lost Decades” of economic immobility. David Pilling, Asia Editor, Financial Times and author of the forthcoming Bending Adversity: Japan and the Art of Survival, draws from his extensive research and interviews with a wide range of contemporary Japanese voices to call into question the narrative of an aging, stagnant Japan.
