What I Wish Ben Bernanke Knew About Japan

I've called Japan my "other" home since 1989 and in that time I've seen it change in ways that ought to scare the pants off you. I say that not to ruin your day, but because I fear we are headed down the same exact road as long as Ben Bernanke and his central banking buddies think it's easier to print money than actually stimulate real growth. In doing so, they are re-creating Japan's "Lost Decades" here at home with years of smoldering, piss-poor growth as our destiny. Yet it doesn't have to be that way. We can still choose a different path.
