I don't see any reason other than politics why the US couldn't move in the same direction of greater economic equality and participation.
One thing that's interesting about Japan: usually a stagnant economy results in a high unemployment rate. My impression is that's not happening in Japan. And that one reason is that married women tend to be the first ones laid off, still leaving the family with a full-time paycheck. That's one reason it hasn't reached crisis proportions like it would in the US.
Is that true from your experience?
