Secondly, the causes of Japan's "Lost decade" and persisting stagnation are presented. The theoretical basis of the causes of long-term stagnation is outlined with an emphasis on economic policy as a key instrument that affects the real economy. Then, the causes of Japan's long-term stagnation are deeply analyzed including a confrontation of selected causes by the author. Lastly, potential solutions addressing the issue of long-term economic stagnation are discussed. Existing solutions that aim to end Japan's stagnation are described and assessed.
