After World War II, the United States sent troops."Takeover"The whole territory of Japan has become a de facto daddy of the Japanese.
The American father of the Japanese, while being powerful in Japan, also gave himself a chance to develop as a cheap son, of course, not out of the kindness of the Americans, but because the United States needed to fight in Asia at that time, and he needed to establish a supply point in Asia.
Later, after the United States suffered losses in the Asian battlefield, although there was no way to retaliate back at that time, it was unwilling to join forces with China and Big Brother to rise, so it began to support the performance at that timeFilial pietyof the Japanese son.
The reasons for the two world wars seem to be different, but in fact, the essence is the same thing, that is, the economies of European and American countries, after experiencing a rapid rise, have lost their growth momentum, and under the intensification of various contradictions, wars can only break out.
The two world wars allowed the United States and other countries to solve this problem in a short period of time, and even rejuvenated the second spring, but the two world wars did not completely solve this problem.
There is an old Chinese sayingIt is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Britain and the United States and other countries relied on their industrial leadership in the early days, quickly reaped a wave of dividends, fattened a small number of people, and let the people taste a little residual profit.
When the industrial leadership is not enough, the channels for making money quickly are getting smaller and smaller, and that small group of people is used to the previous life, can he tolerate earning less than before?Already enjoyed".High benefitsCan the people tolerate a wage cut?
The answer is naturally no, so in order to solve this contradiction, they can only find a way to continue to make profits, and in the case of not fighting and grabbing, they can only transfer production and let cheaper people earn benefits for them.
Japan's rise after World War II, in addition to strategic reasons, is that its things are good and cheap, but European and American countries have also promoted Japan's economic development when they enjoy these high-quality and inexpensive products.
To what extent did Japan's economy develop at that time?
Its American father ranks first in the world, and its good son has become the second in the world, and the speed of chasing forward has not slowed down at all.
In the face of the strong rise of his son, his American father naturally did not want to see it, so in 1985, the Japanese were forced by his American father to sign a contract called "".The Plaza Accord".
The core content of this agreement is only one, that is, Japan agrees to the depreciation of the dollar against the yen, and on the surface, the depreciation of the dollar against the yen seems to be a sign of the strength of the yen, but in reality it is not so good.
For example, in the past, 1 dollar could be exchanged for 100 yen, but for every dollar a Japanese company earned for exporting a piece of goods, he could exchange it for 100 yen domestically.
However, after the depreciation of the dollar against the yen, the 1 dollar that Japan earns from foreign trade may only be exchanged for 50 yen, and any domestic expenses of Japanese production enterprises can be denominated in yen.
In short, the depreciation of the dollar against the yen will directly hit Japan's foreign trade.
Although the ambitions of the Japanese have always been great, the size of the Japanese country is relatively small.
Japan's economy took off after World War II, not because of its domestic demand, but because of its foreign trade.
If Japan's foreign trade is sluggish, then Japan's economy will beCertainlyIt is going downhill, and once Japan's production-oriented economy goes downhill, then the handful of people in Japan who have made a lot of money will not continue to invest money in production-oriented enterprises, but after they are used to making a lot of money, they will not deposit their money in the bank to eat interest.
So what will they do?
When they can't make the money of their American fathers, they will attack their compatriots in their own country, and they will use the large amount of money they earn to invest in the necessities of their compatriots, thereby pushing up the ** of these products.
So what are the main of these necessities?
There are two main categories, one is the daily necessities of ordinary people such as houses, and the other is middle-level financial products such as **.
Hence in "The Plaza Accord"After it came into effect, it had a huge impact on Japan's traditional manufacturing industry, but Japan's real estate and ** industry suddenly became active.
This kind of bubble that stacked up quickly made many Japanese people at that time think that Japan's economy was ushering in another take-off, so more and more money flowed into the whole bubble.
At that time, this phenomenon did make a small group of people in Japan make a lot of money, but Japan was always only a small country, and this game of beating the drum and passing flowers would always fail to pass on in the end, and when the bubble was burst, Japan's economy would plummet.
To this day, Japan's economy has not really recovered.
The above is the most common explanation for the formation of a bubble in the Japanese economy, but is this the whole truth?
Japan participated in the World War II twice, and in World War II, it still has the strength and the United States to be tough, so what about Japan's confidence from the first?
This is mainly due to the fact that after the Meiji Restoration, Japan learned from the West, and then quickly caught the fast train of industrialization.
But this is not the fundamental reason why the Japanese participated in the two world wars, the fundamental reason why the Japanese participated in the world wars is actually the rapid rise of Japan, becauseJapan's resource advantage is insufficientAnd after developing to a certain extent, it must expand abroad in order to maintain its sustained and rapid development.
In fact, not only Japan, but also the United States, the world hegemon, no country can only engage in internal circulation, but also maintain the domestic economy has been developing well, but Japan's resources, consumption capacity and other disadvantages are too great, and the ambition is too great, so the action is more frequent.
Therefore, if there were no Americans in those years, as long as there were no new growth points outside Japan, then Japan's economy would have problems sooner or later, and the Americans' ** only accelerated this process.
