Consider why such policies often fall short: when a financial system channels most of its capital toward investment and production rather than consumption, the intended stimulus effect diminishes significantly. Japan's experience illustrates this pattern—and the same structural challenge exists in today's financial architecture. Capital flows prioritize asset creation over consumer demand, limiting the multiplier effect of monetary expansion.

Japan's system has long been in need of reflection; capital just moves towards assets, who cares about the consumption needs of the retail investors

That Japanese approach has long been played out; the key issue is still capital flow—money is being fully absorbed into the asset pool.

Basically, printing more money is useless; capital is all flowing into asset speculation, and ordinary people are still poor.

That Japanese system is still repeating itself now. It's really hilarious. All the money is flowing into asset prices. Who the heck is buying things?

ngl the japan precedent hits different when u actually understand monetary velocity... most ppl just don't get why printing more money doesn't automatically mean more consumption. it's the asset inflation trap tbh

Uh... isn't this the fundamental reason why inflation can never be permanently solved? Capital playing capital games basically gives no opportunity to retail investors.
