Structural restrictions

Can someone explain what is meant by "structural restrictions in the Japanese import market"? -- Beland 01:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Sakoku mentality. Shocklord (talk) 09:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. Actually, it is because of Keiretsu groups. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.60.115.58 (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I live in Japan and purchase a lot of stuff online. There is almost nothing I want from the US or the UK (my country of origin) save Marmite and strong British tea, because I prefer the price and quality of things made in Asia. There is nothing new about this. East Asians have been making things better since the silk road and the Opium Wars (enforced opium import to China to pay for the goods that Westerners wanted from China). The so called structural restrictions, such as the lack of large stores, were removed in the 90s (with great damage to some Japanese retailers of course), but still the large stores stock Japanese and other East Asian products because no one wants Western stuff. There are exceptions. Ikea, Toys-R-US, MacDonalds among them but "structural restrictions in the Japanese import market" needs citation or it should be removed.--Timtak (talk) 05:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should be linked

There should be a link to this article from Economic history of the United States and History of the United States (1980–1988). This is important in recovery. MaCRoEco 00:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graph is deceptive

The graph in the article is very deceptive. First, the left axis is zero based, whilst the right axis starts at 100. Second, the arbitrary use of the left axis for three different currencies distorts the variation. The GBP and FFR developments, for example, were similar during the period shown, but appear quite different in the graph. The DEM and JPY developments were also much more similar than they appear in the graph. The correct way to compare developments of the four currencies would be to use indices, with all four starting at 1 (or 100). Faagel (talk) 12:28, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Call for Improvement

I am going to call for improvement on this Wikipedia article, and invite everyone interested in updating the following areas:

Analysis of The argument and trade made in the Accord.
The initial comment and prediciton at the time of signagure.

... (I will keep adding to this list)

US biased perspective?

I'd recommend including some content included in the Japanese Wikipedia on this, because it references a lot of information that isn't here; including anti-Japanese sentiment and the US government acting against Japanese companies.

This started when I saw the words of a Taiwanese immigrant to Japan and what he said was the lost decades of Japan originated from the plaza accords (alongside some even less agreeable things about the US in Japan, like our troops there being bad people but all that's unrelated), clearly I think the lost decades wasn't JUST the plaza accord and that's just a narrative made by anti-US groups but we should probably at least reference those points of view.
