We import and export different goods all around the world. With the current recession, the United States can not make as many products as we used to, causing foreign countries to lose the quantity of many products they would buy from us. This recession also causes the people of the United States to not be able to buy products that were being bought in excess before. Many items from Japan that we would buy easily before are not being bought because they are not necessities. Now, because of this, the companies in Japan that are main exporters to the United States will begin to fall because their products will not sell here. As Rebekah said, Americans will have to pay more for goods from Japan as the Yen rises in value. This factor makes it even harder for Americans to buy products made in Japan. With Americans not being able to buy Japanese products, Japanese companies will fall soon. The United States has been a leading factor in many foreign economies.

Toyotas wil be priced in Yen. If a Toyota costs 2.3 million Yen, it will cost this both whenthe Yen is weak and when the Yen is strong. When the Yen was at 115, Americans were paying $20k for it. When the Yen is at 95, Americans are now paying closer to $24k for the same car. I hope that helps! Hi Arpit,

Japan has no debt to other countries. Japan's corporations are still loyal to its employees and salaries are still relatively high. Executive salaries are capped. Banks are truly nationalized, not Henry Paulson fake-nationalized. Japanese people speak out and fight back about stolen and scammed money. Japan is increasing trade with Europe and a newer, richer Russia to make-up for losses due to American consumer inability to buy Japanese products. No, it is the U.S. which will not survive this U.S. elite engineered take-the-money-and-run. Furthermore, as an American, I pay for my Japanese National Health Insurance! I have good insurance for the first time in my life! If I sound like a bitter ex-patriot, that is because I am. I've worked between executives and the operations staff for 5 different large corporations and I've seen the greed of executives rob everyone blind before they tanked the company and ran. Every corporation is like Enron. They will tank your company to rob you of your pensions. Speaking as an American, we here in Japan are just fine. Japan has no debt to other countries.

but this doesn’t mean it’s more expensive for the consumer, does it? i mean it still costs 20K here but just yields lesser profit for toyota.

or maybe i have my econ101 all mixed up here?
