Abstract

This paper examines the Japanese slump through the respecive macroeconomic spectacles of Hayek and Keynes, and shows that the decade old slump is Hayekian in nature, and its cure is hampered both by the high yen policy misguidedly thrust on Japan by the US as well the peculiarities of Japanese political economy.
