日本经济转型为何陷入重重危机

Beset with Crises:What Is Wrong with Japan’s Economic Transformation?

20世纪90年代开始的日本经济衰退,让日本经济体制上的弱点暴露无疑。日本人一直想走出经济停滞不前的怪圈,但结果是屡战屡败,因此不得不从深层次上分析其失败的原因。现在日本已在全面谋求经济转型、对外开放,但日本的保守势力太强,而且无处不在。对外开放就像日本人心中的一个“死结”。日本人希望自己的经济高速发展,却不愿意对全球开放市场,也不愿放弃习惯的思维模式,因此错过了经济发展良机。

The economic recession of Japan that started in the 1990s has thoroughly exposed the defects of the economic system of the country. The Japanese, having so far failed in their efforts to break out of the vicious cycle of the stagnant economy, are forced to try and find out the causes of their failure at an in-depth level. Despite the fact that Japan has now turned to economic transformation and opening up to the outside world, the conservative influences in the country are still strong and prevalent enough to make opening up to the outside world something too bad for most people to imagine. It has been observed that the Japanese, on the one hand, wish that their economy could develop at a higher speed, but, on the other, are not ready to open their market to the rest of the world and are unwilling to give up their conventional mode of thought. They, therefore, have missed various good opportunities to boost their economy.
