Japan Looks Like Its Phillips Curve

Well this one definitely falls under the strange and unusual.  I found this on the Strange Maps blog, who found this on Marginal Revolution, a well known economics blog.  I love this!  It is not an exact match but the similarities are striking!
The Philip’s Curve is the relationship that exists between the inflation rate and unemployment rate.  Usually they are inversely related (which is a good thing), although the 1970’s showed us that both can happen at the same time.
