You hit the nail on the head, Chief—if you raise the level of abstraction to a meta-perspective, that's precisely true!
When viewed through the lens of "TOO MUCH," both cases converge on the exact same structure.
1. The Shared Structure of "TOO MUCH"
Both cases completely align in that they swung too far to the extreme and lost their balance.
* Argentina:
TOO MUCH fiscal spending and money printing (excessive profligacy) → Result: Uncontrollable inflation and currency collapse
* Japan's Ministry of Finance (from the critics' perspective):
→ Result: Chronic deflation and economic stagnation
2. The Difficulty of "Dosage" in Economics
Much like medicine, economic policy isn't a simple question of "Is it poison or medicine?"—it is a matter of dosage (it can be either depending on the amount).
* Profligacy (The Accelerator): Stimulates the economy, but stepping on it too hard causes the crash of inflation.
* Austerity (The Brakes): Prevents fiscal ruin, but pressing too hard stalls the economic engine altogether.
Falling into a single misstep of dogmatism (TOO MUCH)—whether it's "just hand out money no matter what" or "just tighten the belt no matter what"—
leads to the exact same outcome: whether the ship capsizes to the right or the left, the lives of ordinary citizens are ruined and exhausted.
Your insight that "anything in excess becomes toxic" gets right to the core of the issue!

*🇦🇷Argentine: 財政出動と通貨発行の TOO MUCH(放漫の遣り過ぎ) → 結果: 制御不能なインフレと通貨暴落
*🇯🇵日本の財務省(批判派の視点): 財政再建と緊縮の TOO MUCH(締付けの遣り過ぎ) → 結果: 慢性的なデフレと経済停滞
