The only lesson the U.S. has learned from Japan is how to clean up the post-bubble mess. America has failed to learn the much more important lesson -- how to avoid dangerously destabilizing bubbles in the first place. The Greenspan/Bernanke ideology still places disproportionate emphasis on the former while ignoring the latter at great peril.
