I worry that lazy attempts to recycle the playbook of Japan’s 1960s economic boom are being replaced (or supplemented!) by increasingly determined forms of neoliberal policy. Japans economy may be mature, but not yet "normalised". Despite aging demographic, the GDP is still growing, and it could be that TSE demands for capital efficiency plans, shifts towards shareholder capitalism, and other opening up strategies will maintain the illusion of progress and growth for a while longer.
