A rather old documentary made in 1992. Though it does have some serious flaws it is still more informative than they do today. You could really see the fears, anxieties and aspirations of America and Asia, indeed change a lot since then, yet little has changed.

if you own this video, and do not wish it to be on youtube, just IM me. and I'll take it off.
This was a great documentary, but you are right, very old and very outdated. I am surprised noting was mentioned about the 1989 assest bubble burst, being made 3 years after that event. Japan's two lost decades sort of make the thesis and ending question of this video a moot point, as does the victory of the DPJ in 2009, but the history aspect of these videos and well worth the watch. Thanks for uploading.
