There was an interesting story on NPR today about Japan's "lost decade". Essentially their real estate market crashed just like ours and through them into a recession. At first they tried to lower interest rates and even lowered them down to almost 0% but it didn't help at all. In the end they had to do lots of deficit spending to get out of the recession.
