When I see that waterfront project as a taxpayer, I'm worried. But as an economist, I'm even more worried because I see capital being wasted in an economy where it will be very scarce reasonably soon. And that has something to do with how fast you can expect the (Japanese) economy to grow. -Robert Feldman
