Japan's Economy

After World War II, in 1945, Japan had few factories. Goods were scarce and inflation was above 100 percent. The years that followed had incredible growth and Japan became one of the economic powers of the world. The goal of Japan was to trade goods to enrich the nation by gaining market share around the world.

This strategy worked very well till the earl 1990's. Stock prices have fallen and many businesses have filed for bankruptcy.
