Document Summary
From number one to number nothing: japan"s fin de siecle blues. From number one" to "number nothing: 1980s: land and stock values in inflated massively credit in tokyo was available at or better than zero rates. 1993: ldp, after nearly 40 years of power, sank from grace and then from power following multiple corruption scandals and eventually returned to power. Effective one-party rule was reconstituted in the diet, lacking in any vision of national interest and with a hugely diminished capacity to contest whatever prescription might be offered by the bureaucrats. Bureaucrats have less confidence, less esprit de corps, and less public respect. 1995: kobe earthquake and the aum shinrikyo nerve-gas attack in tokyo subway tore shattered the sense of either physical or social security. 1997: 14-year-old child in kobe murdered an 11-year-old classmate, severed his head and placed it on the gatepost of his school.
