Perhaps unknown to people a lot of people's 401K are in South Korea, also from the 1970s to 2000 Japan produced a lot of 'high culture'. South Korea is Western Allied and it seems to have taken the culture role Japan once was known for.

Japan once a bad place scary Samurai, once good position politically for the USA, culture isolation trade war and then World War. It became an ally was used to keep the USSR in check.
Then of course in Japan it opens up post war and they made everything radios, cars, movies, they became a center of tech and the Japan's bubble burst, it is still seen as cool but maybe not as cool as it used to be like 'Rome'
Now its all South Korean, the cheap cars, the phones, the diggers for construction, Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, LG Electronics

Although South Korea didn't have an official lockdown with Covid it had restrictions and its birth rate collapsed
while it still seels greatly it might be entering a period of stagnation

and the 'Chaebols' very similar to Japan's old Royal Shogun Emperor the powerful powerful people who come from the family of feudal lords, business elite family conglomerates get a new name in the new Empire

The sudden boom, rapid growth

the chaebol structure is a very similar event to what happened in Japan's past decades

Japan was known lot of culture items Composers, Fashion, movies Ran, Tokyo Olympiad, Cure, My Neighbor Totoro, Ringu, Princess Mononoke, Hana-bi, Akira, Lady Snowblood, Millennium Actress, Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, tv, movies

most of it is now South Korean but Japan still does the cartoon video game thing.

and economics?

if it does crash it might be in slow-motion, economy of South Korea is a highly developed mixed economy

in our worst of politics and Mayors thread the topic of Shintaro Ishihara came up, a guy who would bash Americans and call Chinese animals?

How does South Korean loony politics compare, they have 'cults'

Blind leading the Blind?

the weirdo Peter Zeihan seems confident on Japan and Turkey the opposite of what his mentor told, geopolitical analyst George Friedman with his stupid books to sell.

the Hungarian-born Jewish American backwardass-ologist, political scientist

Friedman founded Stratfor

THE WAY WE LIVE NOW
https://archive.fo/jmVQ2

Quote:
There is a temptation, when you are around George Friedman, to treat him like a Magic 8 Ball. Does North Korea really have the bomb? No. Will America's feud with France deepen? Yes. Will Bush win re-election? Ask again later.

'The war is going to start at 8 tonight,'' George Friedman told me on the phone.

Quote:
hey are the financial traders and investors who get advice from Stratfor's Web site or from Friedman himself. In the global economy, unrest and uncertainty cloud the market like an Arabian sandstorm, and the Wall Street guys desperately want to know: Will oil be up or down? Is the E.U. a friend or an enemy?
''We're a place you can go,'' Friedman told me, ''to get the mysteries answered.''
The strangest thing about George Friedman -- and this is by no means an easy call to make -- is that he wouldn't know Wall Street from Little Italy.
