Can you imagine being a Tokyo citizen in 1989 with $1 million in the market for retirement? 20 years later it is worth $300,000? |
You are pointing out some of silly things. Japan is the 2nd strongest economy in the world. Ya point out GDP and I think you do not know what it is or you lost me somewhere in the debt ratio comparing it to Zimbabwe...
In 2005 Japans GDP was 502,905,400 and the exchange with the American dollar is $110.01 97 . SO says wikki pedia and so those numbers do not match what you have said by any means.
For purchasing power parity comparisons, the US Dollar is exchanged at ￥125.16. I do not want to call the CIA's information accurate, they been wrong before on many other improtant things. That must be an error or the pages relevance is ranking something other than what you think it is or it is being interpreted wrong.
