Shihon Shugi No Hoteishiki Keizai Teitai to Kakusa Kakudai No Nazo Wo Toku (Chukoshinsho)

[Machine Translation] Why did the steadily growing Japanese, U.S., and European economies fall into prolonged stagnation and widening inequality? Conventional economics cannot explain it well. This book focuses on the "asset preference," or the desire to possess money and wealth, and explains how people's interest shifted from consumption to accumulation as their economies became more affluent, resulting in a major transformation of the economic structure. The book also reveals that the conventional policies of monetary easing, structural reforms, tax cuts, tax breaks, tax breaks for the poor, and education policies that supported high economic growth are now meaningless or counterproductive, and proposes economic policies for the era of low economic growth.

順調に成長を続けた日米欧経済はなぜ長期停滞や格差拡大に陥ったのか。従来の経済学ではうまく説明できない。本書ではお金や富の保有願望=「資産選好」に注目し、経済が豊かになるにつれて人々の興味が消費から蓄財に向かい、経済構造が大きく変貌した経緯を解明。高度成長期を支えた従来型の金融緩和や構造改革、減税やバラマキ、教育方針が、今では無意味か逆効果であることを明らかにし、低成長時代の経済政策を提言する。
