...most of the past 20 years, Japan has been in a state of political and economic paralysis. Ever since its property-and-stock-price bubble collapsed in the early 1990s, the economy has teetered on the edge of recession, occasionally tumbling into one. With one exception (Junichiro Koizumi), the country has been captained by a series of leaders who seemed content to reluctantly repair the economy so that it doesn't outright sink, but not enough for it to return to the high-flying days of yesteryear.

When the Times of London cut its prices in the early 1990s to undercut its rivals, the move made sense only as part of a "seven or eight"-year plan, he says. Circulation did increase, and eventually the newspaper was able...
