Thanks for the great article. I am curious if you think any of the other potential PMs, like Tamaki Yuichiro, etc. would made better headway in tackling the countries problems. It seems to me that no one would be able to do the job adequately, and whomever the next PM is, we will just be back talking about this again in about 12 months. This isn't a criticism of the leaders themselves, more of a "situation is impossible not matter what" comment. Still, though, one should not make things worse, which Takaichi Sanae likely would.
I don't believe the problems are insoluble, and that is the subject of my book, The Contest for Japan's Economic Future. I'll write something on other leaders depending on how the Diet decides next week.
This is the first substantive commentary I've read since Takaichi's election as head of the LDP. I wrote an article way back when pointing out loopholes in the new central banking law that, I thought, meant the BoJ would not be independent of the MoF. What I missed was that these things didn't matter much, because the Japanese people and their leaders thought the BoJ was becoming independent, and so it did. I've been surprised at the market's easy acceptance that Takaichi can tell the BoJ not to raise rates.

Here's a talk I gave at the FCCJ (via zoom) a couple days ago where I discuss, among other things, Tamaki's policies. My talk begins at minute 34:55

Finally a sober critical analysis on her. This is going to get ugly.
