From an uncertain postwar recovery from 1945 Japan subsequently emerged as an economic superpower by the 1970s only to suffer prolonged relative decline thereafter. It's chequered history has led to a scramble for effective remedial policies thereafter including the celebrated programme Abenomics. Did Japan's earlier success influence the timing and nature of its subsequent downturn? Does the country possess underlying constraints holding back the rising sun of earlier generations? How much does it matter?
