Koizumi Junichirō, one of the most popular postwar prime ministers, came into office in 2001 promising to deliver radical reforms not only to restore economic growth, but also to take on the vested interests in his own party. Koizumi set his sights on postal savings and the FILP system, making both issues central to his larger reform agenda. This chapter explains what Koizumi accomplished and why Koizumi succeeded where others failed. It concludes with an assessment of the legacy of FILP—what it has left behind and how it has shaped what will come in the future.
