they invest in their people.
Education is a big factor unlike America where only the rich get educated and the rest become scumbag blue collar guys.

America's doing pretty well though

Weak currency makes their exports more attractive, also they are a good race

Got invested by USA.

Sure thing, buddy. I can see Anerica crumbling in slow motion.

wtf is the context of this picture.

heroin overdose. it was in the news. parents were rescued just in time.

thanks for the context. Goddamn, the poor little kid.

>How is Japan growing so well
Growing so well - I thought they are still suffering from the economic lethargy of the "lost decade"?

But the reason why Japan has such a high GDP per capita is basically cultural - they have a killer work ethic (literally), and in the 50s-60s they managed to disrupt major western industries by producing cheaper consumer products that opened up new markets.

Then those companies upscaled mercilessly.

I don't have the whole picture, but what I gather the "vertically integrated" companies that dominated Japan made building up these disrruptive companies that eventually became worldleaders very easy because many supplies could be sourced in-house.

However as they became global this prevented them from adapting to changing market conditions - this is why Carlos Ghosn as COO and then CEO of Nissan was so successful: he got rid a lot of the tenured old men in the upper ranks who did nothing and broke the traditional but unfeasible relationships with suppliers and made Nissan more agile and their material costs lower

No niggers

Came here to post this

i'm unironically starting to suspect this has a tangible effect...

no niggers, low crime rates, low walfaire bills, sensible government, honerable people. But mostly no niggers..

They have maximum cultural brainwashing which turns them into efficient little wagecucking workbots. (The salerlymen) They love work more than fucking, which their birthrate is statistically proving. The only way to beat that machine is adopting Chinese work ethic, and I don't see any 5 year old spoiled little western shitheads signing up for life in the factories anytime soon.

>Implying Belarus, Mongolia, Georgia, Morocco, Algeria, Indonesia, Myanmar are all full of niggers

We spend the most on education per capita in the developed world

it's not the resources it's the people. japan had nothing after ww2. quickly they became economic superpower and had much larger gdp than whole europe. same thing with germany, they had no resources but it's the people who built the country up after complete destruction.

currently japan have demography issue the people are getting old and starting to shrink. half the people are over 60yo. they still have good median wealth per capita tho.

Urmm, not all in the list, but some...
But you cant deny the basic law : if n>40% of population than fucked.. where n is nigger. This law applies on all scales from small groups to a global scale.. countries can be fucked for other reasons, but don't underestimate the 'n' factor

because of jewish colleges, the edu is worth jack shit

High IQ homogeneous population + capitalism + no darkie freeloaders

After proving they don't know fuck-all about modern warfare, America inspired Japan to focus most of their time, money, and resources on their people rather than stroking their dick at the thought of having the world's largest Navy.

>Urmm, not all in the list, but some...
Realistically what is the value of 'n' in Morocco and Algeria? They are the only countries in my list I can think of that might have even 5% black population.

You're theory seems to be supported when you look at what a shithole Haiti is economically and other Caribbean nations, but at the same time I've recently heard that a lot of poor economic performance can be controlled for with climate.

Which makes sense: India, Yemen... Africa as a whole...

Like I'm not trying to say Blacks wuz kangs n shit, but it just seems like a bit of a racist-for-the-sake-of-being racist and therefore grossly oversimplistic explanation for what might be a more interesting underlying reason.

Well, it sort of isn't as of recent. Lots of deflationary pressure and stagnation in the workplace market sees Japan taking the same route as America has been as of recent, which is sort of doing a lot of monetary policy to making it grow.

Japan's past economic miracle can be explained by work ethic, American investment, and disarmament probably led to a lot of free capital floating around post-war.

this thread proves this board is mostly populated by tourists without the slighest basis of business and finance

To be fair, Japan has lots of ore in mountainous regions and timber.

Don't forget radiation too (;

But user those ARE nigger countries!

>went to roppongi
>its full of nigger
>it is also the most shitty
Somehow there is something worse than chinese tourists.

They like making stuff. Stuffs that sell well.

That’s yaks hiring them to be touts

No niggers to support.

Of course it does. Why else would the entire continent of Africa (the 2nd largest on the globe) with all its natural resources produce absolutely jack shit?

In 1940s South Africa, under white rule, they produced more clean drinking water than every other African nation COMBINED.

simple....they dont allow any desert camel retards in to their land unlike EU....so...ppl can concentrate on work.....

The entire country is basically a giant Socialized machine that runs far more efficiently than China or the Soviet Union's version of Socialism, with enough "privatized" parts in the form of mega-Zaibatsus that take long term financial obligations to the populace very seriously while enjoying heavy protectionism from the government. The lack of new workers being born coupled with the lack of immigration is slowly choking the system to death though.

Now their education system is shit outside of maybe Tokyo University, and the smart Japs realize that in order to get a decent education they have to study abroad, usually in America, so this is also leading to a brain drain problem.

>genetically high iq
>genetically low testosterone so very compliant and not prone to be antisocial or criminal, thus less money spent on jails and such
>"white" population

O shit I forgot to shill monacoin

Pls buy japan"s future currency

Thx

>cryptos are legal
>robots

>insect people

also no Middle east next to it....so easy for them to grow rather than spending money on security....u know what i mean

How is Germany growing so well economically considering it's got next to nothing for natural resources?

>Germany
>Vikings

Actually it really isn't. Currently it's riding high off of it's role as a former industrial center and Centralized Banking, but due to outsourcing of manufacturing to cheaper Eastern European countries and an ongoing credit crunch it, like Japan, needs an influx of younger workers in order to keep its balance sheet for social programs in the black.

Unfortunately importing third world workers results in young men without means entering the country, and young men without means commit crimes. This is used by both Neo-Nazis and ISIS to stir shit up, but for Germany's economy it's literally import workers or watch implode so now the security services have to counter both ISIS and Nazis.

Fun times, no?

USA
>too much drug addicts
>niggers
>lots of people losing sense to reality
>diversity and liberalism

The top 1% of USA is still the best at marketing and doing business.


JAPAN
>they have longer focus when they're doing something
>they can adapt quickly to their environment

Security is absolutely spent on, thanks to North Korea and China

>Berbers, Slavs, and various Asians
>Niggers
Are you like some kind of falseflag trying to undermine /pol/ or something?

10/10 post

two words
>future gundams

>comment with actual economic insight gets zero replies

and then this...

>racist-for-the-sake-of-being racist and therefore grossly oversimplistic explanation for what might be a more interesting underlying reason.
How can you even take them seriously? If some retard believes that a country is succesful because of 'no niggers', then why do you take time to write out a thoughtful reply?

I have my reasons, but you're right in that it's probably a waste of my time

DEBT japan is in massive debt funding a high lifestyle at the expense of the future. I cant beleive no one mention that japan has on of the highest gov debt levels in earths history per capita. They arent making money they are borrowing it. Japan is funding comfy with loans

high-trust

societies thrive when people can trust that economic activity will be transacted honestly and correctly

when society is low-trust, you can't do things like ebay or craigslist or whatever because you send them garbage and they send you a bad check

Trust is literally the only economic metric of direct relevance everything else is measuring the result of the trust level.

Japan is only borrowing money from its own banks though - does that realistically endanger the economy if the banks start calling in loans?

I've heard this pseudo-science before. Next comes a bit about how multiculturalism erodes trust. I feel like I've been on the internet too long, or at least in proximity to /pol/ for too long.

I really should visit Japan.

They aren’t though. The IMF forecast for the next year has been around 1.5%. That’s lower than the United States.

If you are asking why it *grew* well, the answer is quite simple and the same as it is for Germany. Disciplined workforce and a metric shit ton of American ODA. Neither of the two countries were even remotely close to the United States during the Axis era, but they are pretty close now by comparison. Thanks for making us great by being a menace to the American interests, Stalin.

>a highly intelligent and uncucked population isn't a natural resource

>uncucked population

fucking lol

Not from USA but the problem with America is too much diversity which invites conflict.

Niggers taking a seat at the government, immigrants stealing jobs, media entertain other people's dumb opinions, etc.

Except for the Nigerians in Shinjuku. Watch out for those Nigerians man

Where are you from?

I guarantee that on the whole Japan is less cucked than your nation

Japan doesnt like change, its stupid but less chaotic that way. In the West we are absolutely brainwashed to adore change because woo "progress", just look at the last US presidents campaign slogan

Natural resources aren't the only way a society can provide value to the rest of the world. If that were the case Venezuela wouldn't be a shithole.

Japan had a pretty bad work ethic in the sixties though, to say nothing of the fifties. It only really improved once they introduced lifetime employment and workers stopped going on demonstrations all the fucking time. Let’s not even talk about the 19th century when they really took off and China didn’t. The general attitude was that the Japanese were downright lazy and could meet deadlines to boot.>

I don’t think you can really attribute this sort of thing to industrial organization either, although it probably helped with the HCI initially. Most of the processes were imported from the United States and while some arguments have been made that the keiretsu allowed to easily mobilize capital and expertise into news fields, I think a more convincing argument would be that Japan was offered a really nice American export market that it could flood with its products. Don’t forget that we were also in the Breton Woods system at that point and Kennedy absolutely did not want to adjust the peg.

You're reading too much into it. The expectation that a financial transaction will be honored in good faith by both parties is an obvious prerequisite to any sort of economic activity.

I've spent years in Latin American nations, and the reason they can't get off the ground is because they have entrenched low-trust cultures. It's considered normal to lie, cheat, scam, etc and because of this, engaging in economic activity does not make you rich. Corruption and theft makes you rich in LA. Thus the lack of sustained economic activity.

This isn't hard, you don't have to be from /pol/ to state pretty obvious truths about the world. There's really nothing /pol/ about it because trust has nothing to do with racial homogeneity and everything to do with popular conceptions of trust and the importance of promises.

We WUZ VIKANGZ 'N SHIEET

Perhaps I was quick on the trigger, but it seems that what you're talking about indirectly is opacity and corruption. Back when I was required to read "Lexus and the Olive Tree" corruption and institutional opacity were major factors in whether an economy was going to be able to effectively plug into globalization. You are correct.

/pol/ has just spent so much time trying to stir the muck that some of us have developed a hair-trigger response.

This a little but mainly no niggers.

corruption is the result of a an absence of trust

it's probably better to directly talk about the absence of the economic enabler rather than bounce around the obvious result of it and never name it clearly because the /pol/ clock happened to be half-right about it twice a day

>high iq
>ethnically homogenous country
>high trust society
>strong work ethic
>refuse to flood their country with niggers and arabs

yeah its a real mystery why the japs are doing well

Weebs pay top dollar for weebshit.

Japan has been stagnating since the 90s

Those are actually the kids grandparents I know the mom I was a frequest customer of hers at a strip club. God she was so fine. Mercedes, if you're reading this, I miss you girl.

True, but I'm a lazy bourgeois asshole who prefers to use synonym and euphemism to simply exclude undesirables from conversations in which they are inconvenient rather than be bothered with rebutting their constant appeals to ignorance.

In what way is a demilitarized country controlled by a foreign power UNKEKED?

Do you even know the meaning behind your favorite buzzword?

Not on education, but on (((education))).

Only reason I can see Japan stagnating in the 90s is due to the Asian Financial Crisis in '97
It's still doing better than a whole lot of other countries and was almost completely unaffected by the GFC whereas the West got shafted

In the end Japan still has culture, whereas the West doesn't, Japan is still heavily homogenous whereas the West isn't, Japan still teaches respect whereas the West doesn't, Japan isn't controlled by Zionists to fight in foreign lands whereas the West is

>Japan has culture
>The West doesn't have culture
Japan's entire culture is working to death

They don't love work. They just like being at work. Productivity is terrible.

salaryman culture is toxic.
the kids go to school for 10 hours, then have 3 hours of after school studies then go home for dinner
then they do the same thing at work. work 10 hours, then stay 3 hours late so they can leave after the boss goes home

They make good money, but at what price?
>and they don't have any "minorities" to leech off of them

Bug people who work instead of having kids

>how can you take them seriously

No Jews?

exactly, and people are more willing to work when 25% of their check isn't going to arabs and blacks to live at your expense.

go home obvious shill

excuse you, Japan is 98.5% ethnic Japanese. when you pay taxes it goes to other Japanese, not Muhammad.

they aren't demilitarized. learn.

Japan doesnt allow muslims or niggers, thats leaves normal people with good work ethics and they have no cockroaches in society.

They dont believe in multiculturalism and they are absolutely right. Look at Europe right now its gonna to shit because of muslims and niggers.

Every place with a lot of nigger and or muslims go to shit, thats why Japan will keep thriving.

Haven't they been in stagnation since the 90s? Not to mention their population is in decline.

oh no, boomers are going to die off and good jobs will open up to a much more limited labor supply, as will land, and the cost of food, electric, and water will go down.
oh no. there will be more for everyone.
yes, Japan has its own boomers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan)

explain their virginity crisis. about a third of their adults are virgins

Anime is at fault for setting unrealistic standards

because the society, space, job market became oversaturated a lot of guys dropped out. same in America. when the boomers die off and there are actual resources and space in society again there will be a return to it.

Japanese are extremely nationalistic.
Nationalism doesn't mean what you think it mean.

Germany had a lot of natural ressources notably coal, wood, iron, copper, wood and fertile land, in fact that's why they industrialized very successfully and rapidly during the XIXth.

A better comparaison to Japan would be Britain.

> Germany's economy it's literally import workers or watch implode so now the security services have to counter both ISIS and Nazis.

Or you know, they could make children, but that's fascist apparently!

Also Europe needing third-worlder is a fucking meme, these people are stupid, uneducated, leech on welfare, are not integrated even after 2 or 3 generations (look at France, the country that managed to integrate every single european minority during the last 200 years from russians to portuguese is failing hard with maghrebis and blacks) and finally automation will kill ALL the low skilled jobs they are supposed to fill in 25 years.

It's just one big joke to destroy Europe and satisfy the Kalergi delusion of globalist, this shit will end in blood and civil war, pensions will be the least of our problem at this moment.

Went full north korea until the 70s. Didn't even accept tourists until a couple years ago.

Not saying niggers are the problem, they aren't. Bringing in millions of uneducated people, whipping them for 300 years and then releasing them without a dime is the problem

If you study Economics you'd realize that natural resources negatively correlate to economic growth

For ex. Venezuela should be in the top tier of economies based on resources.

Don't believe any politician who tells you that a resource economy is the key to future growth. Its a one way ticket to becoming a country that corporations wipe their asses with.

Amen

>Not saying niggers are the problem, they aren't

5x welfare consumption and 5x crime. if American were all black it would topple overnight as welfare spending consumed the entire budget and every major American city devolved into a warzone larger than they already are.

They've got good food.

American culture is McDonalds. Even the McDonald's in Japan serves fancy healthy foods.
