History Repeats with US Housing Collapse

By Conor | August 29, 2008

So few Americans seems to realize that we are repeating history quite close to Japan’s bubble crash of the late 1980’s.  I wrote on this in February in “The United States of Japan“, and the market has been a mirror image of what happened in Japan since then.

The Economist has mentioned this many times as well, but never so clearly as their article last week regarding “Lessons from a ‘lost decade’“.  While the article explains it all much clearer than I could, one graphic sums up the similarities very easily.
