That’s not an overnight fix and highlights what’s really at the heart of the issue. Compare apples between the US and Japan and while the US suffered over the crisis, they’ve bounced back, in no short order due to the mindset of Americans. The Japanese are hugely different in mentality and Abe’s finding it tough to change that.
