[Overview]
There are high expectations that East Asia will become the engine of global economic growth in the 21st century, but two distinct concerns about East Asia's economic growth are increasing. First, it is gradually becoming clear that East Asian economies are facing headwinds. Especially in East Asia, where population aging is accelerating, there are growing concerns that these economies may also face long-term stagnation. It is necessary to examine the possibility of Japan's "lost decades" spreading throughout East Asia in terms of the contradictions between startup enthusiasm and innovation activity on one side, slowing productivity growth, widening inequality, and progressing deflation in East Asia. Second, economic growth in East Asia threatens American hegemony and increases geopolitical tensions. As Alvin Hansen first used the term (long-term stagnation) in 1938, retaliatory actions in the form of "military Keynesianism" could fragment the global economy.
