The lost decade

Forgive the constant context of the world economy right now, given that it is big news and only bigger in my world, because a business publication employs me.
One of the several buzz words to emerge is the ‘lost decade’, with reference to Japan. Word is, from 1990 to 2000, the economy in Japan basically got screwed and a whole ten years was lost, monetarily.
I look back at this past decade, given there is a year to go, and wonder, if in terms of an achievement-to- potential ratio, 2000-2010 will be the lost decade for me? Monetarily.
