YouTube comments and excerpts from a documentary transcript. These comments and excerpts focus on the "Lost Decade" of Japan's economy, a period of economic stagnation that occurred in the 1990s. The comments express diverse perspectives on the causes of the economic decline, ranging from blaming the United States' influence to pointing towards Japan's own internal factors like a lack of innovation and inflexible work culture. The documentary transcript provides a detailed analysis of the economic boom that preceded the "Lost Decade" and the subsequent burst of the real estate bubble, which is attributed to a combination of factors including loose monetary policy, excessive lending, and inflated asset prices.
