This paper proceeds by explaining deflation and aggregate price determination in more detail. Then, some facts about the development of Japan, 1990–2001, are provided, together with an extensive interpretation. This is followed by a closer examination of the official Japanese interpretation, contrasting it with my own views. Finally, some concluding remarks are offered.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
