Why did not I read the newspaper on New Year's Day anyway this year.
So today I read the Sankei Shimbun for the first time.
On the front page entitled Inui Masato, editorial chairman, Farewell, the era of 'defeat', at the beginning of the year, the paper he was posting was exactly what I wrote on I was surprised. ... exactly the base of the business people he visited at the year-end is base.
Emphasis on writing and * ~ * are me.
Farewell, the era of 'defeat'
Inui Masato, editorial chairman
Heisei was the era of 'defeat'.
I was shocked as if I was beaten with a hammer who had been to be in a daze to Heisei's 30 years to the words of a businessman who I visited at the year-end.
Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Heisei 23, the Great Hanshin Earthquake Disaster and the Tokyo subway sarin attack of 1995 (Heisei 7), although hit by a big catastrophe, Japan is generally peaceful,, after going through the franticness of the bubble era, it was summarized without permission, that it became 'composition' ripe society.
However, figures ruthlessly tell the 'defeat' of Heisei Japan.
In 1989, Japan's gross domestic product (GDP) in the whole world accounted for 15%, following the 28% in the US, when we made merry to the bubble, it is Japan As Number One, we can fight 24 hours and at somebody's instigation, it saw the back of the giant US, it seemed like.
The US government with a sense of crisis pressured Japan on the Structural Impediments Initiative SII, and * It is no exaggeration to say that Junichiro Koizumi is not only meaningful to Japan's revitalization, repeat Postal service privatization like He that knows little often repeats it...I wasted national affairs...as I mentioned a few times when I came out. At this time the chairperson of the Regulatory Reform and Opening Council which heavily used civilians he formed was an instigator that caused the business of the North Yard to become confused and delayed Osaka regeneration for more than 10 years ... *
The United States has found its way to IT, again took a growth trajectory, keeping it at 25% of GDP world.
Japan 's GDP which the bubble collapsed, and politics also became chaotic receded greatly to 6% compared to the world.
Thirty years ago, young people would not be able to imagine that Japanese companies accounted for 32 companies among the top 50 companies in the world (market capitalization).
Toyota is the only one that is now devoted to 50 companies.
The population continues to decline at the peak of 10 years ago, and only the mountain of debt named government bonds is increasing.
This draft continues.
