“Japan is the best and only relevant case study to predict what will happen to the U.S.” - excerpt from Thomas P. Signer’s The Harder They FallBuilding on the author’s earlier work The Harder They Will the U.S. follow Japan into the abyss?

With a comprehensive comparison of the fascinating boom and bust cycles of the two nations, Twins in Denial details how American policymakers have continuously failed to learn crucial lessons from Japan.But how can two countries as dissimilar as Japan and the U.S. share the same economic fate?
