Over the past 30 years, the US has existed in a situation of constant current account deficits while Japan has had nothing but current account surpluses over that same time period. The book suggests that current account deficits have a detrimental effect on a country's wealth while surpluses have a positive effect. Over most of the same time period, the US economy has experienced massive expansion, while the Japanese economy's performance has been lackluster.
