2. The US has significant risk (30% or greater) of experiencing pronounced Japan-like symptoms over the next 5-10 years: especially much lower medium term growth than before the crisis, soaring budget deficits, more frequent than usual recessions.

3. The G-20 is right to focus on containing global (current account) imbalances to well below their pre-crisis levels (say to roughly half or less within four years). US must achieve higher national savings rate, if necessary substantially strengthening financial regulation and oversight. China must allow its exchange rate to significantly appreciate over time, and redirect production towards domestic demand instead of exports.
