You would think with all Godzilla attacks Japan's economy would have collapsed by now.

Japan has contracting companies as well.

>> No.48643

the damage he causes provokes a boom in the construction industry, stimulating the country's growth.

You would think after hearing this joke 9001 times, it would still be funny.

It'd probably actually have a positive effect. Sustained military effort = lots of industry.

>> No.48664

yes, full employment is also a result from the war effort.

>> No.48676

you know nothing about economy and should gtfo with your usa today level of economics.

Look at Garmany, twice defeated massively (and actually many times before). But everytime it has risen greater than before.

No, you know nothing of basic economics. Who do you think is going to pay for those buildings?

Think about it.

It took over a decade for them to recover both times. Godzilla attacks are a monthly occurance.

>> No.48706

>>48643

Yes, but construction companies can't work if no one has enough money to employ them.

I imagine after having to rebuild Tokyo once or twice that there would be very little money left to rebuild it a third time.

>> No.48725

>>48706
hat's where foreign money comes in play, there would be lots of investment.
also, the country could just go in debt.

>> No.48729

Godzilla, of course. Everyone knows it's common courtesy to fix countries you've wrecked.

>> No.48751

>>48725
Why would anyone invest in a country being ravaged monthly by Godfuckingzilla? Seriously, why would you invest in a shop if it's going to be destroyed, along with any possible profits?

>> No.48755

>>48708
economies aren't closed, the state can borrow massive amounts of money ( to a rather negative effect in the long term)
investors would also come to profit.

>> No.48757

>>48725
Ok. Japan decides to take a shitload of loans/and or print its own money.

Now you have a shitload of money in the Japanese economy. With this money, people buy products. Supply is stripped, causing prices to jack into extremes.

Now you've entered a great depression. Maybe if you try hard enough you can become the prime minister.

>> No.48766

>>48751
it's not like anyone would know when godzilla would attack anyway.

>> No.48770

>>48755
You can't put a shitload of money into the economy, otherwise the worth of the currency drastically drops, causing prices to soar.

This is fucking simple economics.

>> No.48781

>>48757
that only occures if the production plants are destroyed beforehand, but these aren't located in the middle of cities, are they ?

>> No.48811

>>48781
Tokyo isn't the only city in Japan that uses Yen

>> No.48806

>>48770
the importance of the devaluation of the currency depends on if the country mainly imports it's goods.
the most obvious problem would be energy but aside from that, alimentation is likely not affected.

>> No.48839

>>48766
Obviously has never seen Godzilla movies. They got that guy monitored all the time.

>> No.48840

>>48811
but godzilla only attacks tokyo.
the production plants elsewhere wouldn't be affected than, would they ?

>> No.48845

>>48806

If the country, itself, puts money into the economy, the same effect is had. When people get more money, they are more likely to spend it.

Demand outstrips supply, causing inflation. Now the Yen is worth much less.

>> No.48865

>>48845
you'd think that the increase in outcome would be followed by an increase in production, wouldn't you ?

>> No.48876

>>48840

Are you fucking retarded? You're treating Tokyo like some kind of isolated country inside Japan. The government(That runs the entirety of Japan) is forced to pay the costs for rebuilding.

>> No.48913

>>48865

1. Resources are limited.
2. You can't build factories overnight.

By the time they have adapted to the sudden changes, the Yen is worthless and they've entered a depression.

>> No.48915

>>48840
They only show the Tokyo attack because it's the only city in Japan anyone cares about. For instance, would anyone care if I made a movie about Dallas being attacked by a giant monster? No, they wouldn't because the only cities in the US anyone cares about are NY, DC, and sometimes LA.

so when one town get's destroyed the whole country falls?

>> No.48966

>>48612
Nah. Every time Godzilla attacks, military spending skyrockets. New companies get all kinds of manufacturing contracts, so when the beast is finally put to rest everyone has jobs and surplus goods.

Yet another idiot. "Hay, guize! Running wars are great for the economy, because we can just keep spending and spending and putting more and more money in!"

By hoarding silver you can drive the price up %33.3 and give mining rights to traveling merchants.

No, he's attacked many Japanese cities, including Osaka, Sapporo, and Fukuoka.
