Japan: it's in the timing
Article Abstract:
The most urgent economic reform Japan must undertake if it is to avoid serious economic depression is cutting corporate and personal income taxes permanently in order to revive commercial activity. Immediate attention must also be given to creating an independent agency to strengthen the banking, securities and insurance industries. Other economic reforms should include deregulating most of Japan's manufacturing and service businesses and controlling the budget deficit.
