Japan seems to be completing civil engineering projects pretty fast compared to almost any other nation. Maybe there's something to be learned from there?

    Is this much worse than the United States?
    • roenxi 7y ago
      No. Both countries have basically added a "0" on the end of the M2 since 1975. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2

        Wrong! Since 1990 Japan has indeed only added $6tr of Money (M2), but as their GDP hasn't really grown that's an additionall 80% of GDP in terms of Money (the same meausure for the US is up 15%) China on the other hand, money is up 150% of GDP, which clocks in at $26 Trillion dollars (a bit more than 100% of US GDP). https://rose.ai/dashboard/someone.on.the.internet.is.wrong.about.money.supply.20191221 https://rose.ai/dashboard/someone.on.the.internet.is.wrong.a...

  The lead engineer who completed the Toyota Camry Hybrid in record time dropped dead shortly afterward. Japan keeps its development speed high by burning through employees aggressively.
