Waga Onshi Ishi Hiroshi Moto Ga Miyabutta Kanryo Kokka Nippon No Yami (Shueisha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] In October 2002, a politician, Koki Ishii, was attacked and killed by a man claiming to represent a right-wing organization. At the time, Ishii was attracting attention for his activities to help victims of crimes and his pursuit of problems related to special corporations. His stance of helping the weak and pursuing injustice had a great influence on his first secretary, Fusaho Izumi. Ishii saw Japan as a "bureaucratic state" in which the privileged class has an oligopoly of interests. The structure of the bureaucracy is still changing its form and undermining the lives of the people. The first part of the book is a discussion between Izumi and Tanya, Ishii's eldest daughter, Masaki Kito, a fellow lawyer, and economist Ayumi Yasutomi, who describes Ishii as an "outstanding fiscal scholar. The second part of the book is a dialogue between Tanya, Ishii's eldest daughter; Masaki Kito, a lawyer who was a comrade; and Ayumi Yasutomi, an economist who described Ishii as an "outstanding fiscal scholar.

二〇〇二年一〇月、右翼団体代表を名乗る男に襲撃され命を落とした政治家・石井紘基。当時、石井は犯罪被害者救済活動、特殊法人関連の問題追及等で注目を浴びていた。その弱者救済と不正追及の姿勢は、最初の秘書・泉房穂に大きな影響を与えた。石井は日本の実体を特権層が利権を寡占する「官僚国家」と看破。その構造は、今も巧妙に姿を変え国民の暮らしを蝕んでいる。本書第1部は石井の問題提起の意義を泉が説き、第2部は石井の長女ターニャ、同志だった弁護士の紀藤正樹、石井を「卓越した財政学者」と評する経済学者の安冨歩と泉の対談を収録。石井が危惧した通り国が傾きつつある現在、あらためてその政治哲学に光を当てる。
