Stockbyte/Thinkstock(TOKYO) -- Japan's prime minister is making a bold move -- and staking the country's financial future on it.
Shinzo Abe has proposed the unlimited printing of money and a 2 percent inflation target to lift Japan out of decades of economic stagnation. 

On Tuesday, the country's central bank, the Bank of Japan, agreed to enact Abe's policy, raising hopes of a Japanese comeback.

Critics of Abe's plan say it only adds to the country's massive public debt.
