It looks really bad in fact. Their place in terms of GDP per capita is a disaster.<p>In 1987 they matched and then surpassed the US on GDP per capita. Within ten years from today they&#x27;ll be at half (or less) the GDP per capita level of the US.<p>If Japan continues with their blatantly failed Yen destruction policies (meant to debase their debt), they&#x27;ll rapidly sink below other countries they used to tower over on GDP per capita, such as Spain or New Zealand.<p>Preliminary 2015 figures peg their GDP per capita at 24th, at $32k. The US is nearly $56k by comparison.
