I'm your age and to draw comparisons between the fear of Japan and the real threat of globalization is laughable.

Agreed. Japan is the size of California, demographically dying, and can't even feed itself as it's a net importer of food / energy. It's also basically a protectorate of the US.

Globalization, the rise of China, and the dismantling of the West's manufacturing (and now intellectual) supremacy in exchange for quarterly profits is a real problem.
