Then the bubble burst, banks found that their balance sheets were full of bad loans, and Japan entered a lost decade of stagnant economic growth.

In 2002, 19-year-old Robert Steinh?user killed 12 teachers, a school secretary, two students and a policeman in a shooting spree that began in his one-time high school, Gutenberg Gymnasium, in Erfurt.
