“Shinzo Abe, Japan’s new prime minister, has some exciting new ideas about how to make Japan’s economy grow. How about the government borrows a lot of money and spends it on building bridges and roads all over the country? If that doesn’t sound so new, it is because it isn’t. It is what Japan has been doing for 20 years, and it is the main reason why Japan is now the most heavily indebted nation on the planet. But never mind. The Keynesians agree that this policy was a roaring success, and that this is why the country needs more of it. Mr. Abe also plans to force the Bank of Japan into printing more money, and this is surely going to be a great success, too.”
