Japan became the first of the modern Asian countries to experience massive sustained economic growth. Japan had a lot going for it after the end of the war, it was able to rebuild with the help of the allies and go through its own modern industrial revolution. In the 1960’s japan was growing at a rate of 10% a year which for a national economy was unheard of at the time, this economic growth continued and japan was able to ride the wave of globalisation as the worlds low cost manufacturer. Japan developed a huge car industry, it was at the forefront of consumer electronics and was working meticulously to make sure that this new found wealth was being invested wisely into infrastructure like high speed rail, airports and metro systems that would make their economy even more efficient.
日本是第一個、經濟持續高速增長的現代亞洲國家。戰爭結束以後，日本為此做出了很多努力，在盟友的幫助之下，它得以重建，完成了自己的現代工業革命。1960年代，日本的每年的增長速度達到了10%，在那個時候，一個國家的經濟能實現這樣的增長，是前所未聞的。這樣的經濟增速持續了多年，使得日本能夠乘著全球化的浪潮，成為世界的低成本製造商。日本發展出了一個龐大的汽車工業，處於消費電子產品的前沿，工作也一絲不苟。為了使這些新財富保值，它們被明智地投資在了高鐵、機場、地鐵系統等基礎設施上面，這又使得他們的經濟變得更加高效。
At its peak there was so much wealth in japan that the real estate market of Tokyo had some pretty crazy anomalies. In the late 80’s it was estimated that the imperial palace covering an area of 3.4 square kilometres in central Tokyo had a real estate land value greater than all of the real estate in California. Of course, the imperial palace was never for sale and this was based of the cost per square feet in the area but it still should give a good idea of just how much money was washing around in Japan...
在日本財富的巔峰時刻，日本有太多的錢了，以致東京的房地產市場出現了一些非常瘋狂的異象。在80年代後期，位於東京市中心的日本皇宮，佔地面積3.4平方公里，它的土地價值，已經超過了加州所有房地產的市值。當然了，日本皇宮從來沒出售過，這個價格只是基於那片地區每平方英尺的價格計算出來的，但這也很好地詮釋了，當時的日本有多少的錢在流轉……

Anime became popular in the 90s. Japan''''''''s economy stagnated in the 90s. Coincidence I think not.
動漫是在90年代開始流行的。日本經濟是在90年代停滯不前的。巧合？我認為不是。
Björn Lundahl
You forget that GDP per capita is in Japan larger today than in 1990. This as the population is shrinking.
你忘了，日本今天的人均GDP比1990年的時候還要多。這是因為日本的人口在萎縮。

"Land of the rising debt" with "house of the rising sun" instrumental in the background. Brilliant!
背景音樂中，“舉債之地”配的是“日升之屋”的調子。有才！

One of the insane things about Japan to me is how much they continually innovative, but how little they try to export a lot of the innovative products. I think the reason is basically no one in Japan understand outside Japan. Even companies like Sony and Panasonic seem confused as to why their products fail or succeed.
在我看來，日本最瘋狂的事情之一，就是他們持續創新的程度，但是他們卻很少大量出口他們的創新產品。我認為，這基本上是因為在日本，沒人瞭解日本之外的情況。就連索尼和松下這樣的公司，似乎也會對自己的產品為何會成功或失敗而感到困惑。

Would you mind doing a video over Switzerland? I find them fascinating considering they''''''''re a country that has historically not had any natural resource or cheap labour.
你介意替瑞士做一段視頻嗎？我發現，瑞士很迷人，而且歷史上來看，他們是個沒有任何自然資源或廉價勞動力的國家。

I think you overstate the impact of Western Foreign aid, Sure, it did help the economy of Japan rebuild, but it already was a modern industrial nation before the war (about the same level as Italy) and the continued pregress was due to the Japanese own efforts, not just western help.

我認為你高估了西方援助的影響。當然，這個援助確實幫到了日本的經濟重建，但是日本在戰前就已經是個現代化的工業國家了（水平大致與意大利相同）。持續的進步，不僅僅是因為西方的幫助，也是因為日本人自己的努力。

Japan is still strong ok even I''''''''m a Chinese I can''''''''t deny the fact that Japanese is making their country better and stronger
日本仍然很強大。即便我是中國人，我也不能否認一個事實：日本人正在讓他們的國家變得更好、更強。

So essentially Japan was doing so well that it started doing badly
本質上來說，日本表現得很好，但是它開頭的時候很糟糕

Japan is actually in a better position than the United States. Right now, people in the United States owe more in Student debt alone than Japan does entirely. Nearly $2 trillion dollars of student loans plague this economy alongside all the tariffs and economic bubbles.
實際上日本處於比美國更好的位置。現在，美國人單單在學生貸款方面，就比日本人多多了。接近2萬億美元的學生貸款，與所有的關稅和經濟泡沫，一起困擾著美國經濟。

"In a world that assumes growth would continue forever." That is human folly, and we fall for it everytime.
“在一個假定增長會永遠持續下去的世界裡。”這是人類的愚蠢，而我們每次都會陷進去。

Hey Japan I''''''''m from Argentina and I have a few Venezuelans around. I''''''''ve heard you''''''''re having "defation" issues. We can help you with that.
嗨，日本，我來自阿根廷，我身邊有幾個委內瑞拉人。聽說你們有“通貨緊縮”的問題，我們可以幫幫你哦。

I desperately wish that more people would take an interest in sciences like psychology, sociology, and economics..... a proper understanding of these topics might actually yield a more properly guided and understanding society that enacts policies that make more sense in relation to these sciences
我非常希望有更多的人，能對心理學、社會學和經濟學這樣的科學感興趣……對這些主題的正確理解，也許能對理解社會產生更恰當的指導，從而制定出與這些科學相關的、更具有意義的政策。

Japan is no perfect country but the culture makes it more likely than others to survive, as they`ve done in the past, twice! People stay together and support each other - just check what happens after so common natural disasters and compare the situation with the USA. The crime rate is low. The job market is good at this point in time. The car-tech is great and ahead of the competitors - make sure you add the cost of the vehicle and reliability for future comparisons ;). The "economy" is stagnant as most is already build. That is the "downside" of living in a DEVELOPED country. Check the meaning of the word "developed" - it implies COMPLETED. While EU and USA have their political, social and safety issues, Japan faces an aging population problem and labour force shortage.
日本不是一個完美的國家，但日本的文化讓它比其他國家更有可能倖存下來，就像他們過去做的那樣，兩次！日本人圍在一起，相互扶持，他們的做法可以跟美國比較一下，看看發生常見的自然災害以後，人們是如何應對的。日本的犯罪率很低。日本此時的就業市場也很良好。日本的汽車技術是很好的，勝過很多競爭對手，確保你在未來選購汽車，進行比較的時候，可以兼顧汽車的成本和可靠性。

日本經濟之所以會“停滯”，是因為大多數東西已經建好了啊。這是生活在發達國家的“缺點”。來看下“發達”這個詞的含義吧，它意味著“已完成”。歐盟國家和美國，面臨著政治、社會和安全問題；而在日本，面臨著人口老齡化和勞動力短缺的問題。
