Options for the Future of the Japanese Economy and Society

Abstract

When today's generation thinks of history, it perceives human beings as subjects who choose their future while being controlled by the past. Moderns do not subscribe to the point of view that history is an inevitable process which unfolds according to the law of nature, which is beyond human control. In particular, the latter half of the twentieth century, which is our most recent past and which is none other than "contemporaneous" with many of us, is a period in which the knowledge of human beings and their society advanced, and policy steps that manipulate the economy, too, were improved as never before. It seems clearly a mistake to portray the history of such a period as a world of inevitability beyond the reach of human power.
