Takai’s economic approach echoes that of Trump and JD Vance. She advocates for significant public spending and stimulus measures to combat inflation, coupled with targeted tax cuts and subsidies, particularly for rural households.

While not a strictly fiscal conservative—given her willingness to engage in large stimulus—her policies aim to rejuvenate Japan’s economy while promoting national resilience.
