I was watching yesterday a Japanese film called Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust (which I recommend if you are interested in post-war Japanese history) but it also got me thinking: What if the Japanese bubble had lasted little longer, say until the mid-90's (or even longer)? Even though the effects of eventual (bigger) crash of Japanese economy is an intriguing topic, I'm actually most interested in how the 90's would go in this world. How would popular culture and world politics be affected when Japan Takes Over The World isn't discredited earlier? And how big could the Japanese economy actually become before it crashes?
