Symbol Economy Nippon Keizai Wo Shinshoku Suru Genso (Shodensha Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] In the G7, only Japan is said not to be growing economically, but is this really true? Is this really true and why? In his best-selling book, "The End of Capitalism and the Crisis of History," the author sees the long-term zero interest rate as the "death" of capitalism, where no profit can be made even if capital is invested. In this book, the author explains how the symbolic economy has overtaken the real economy and how the world of the 21st century is turning into a medieval one. He criticizes the Japanese government, the Bank of Japan, and business managers for clinging to outdated theories, and reveals the "deception" of the economic growth rate. Where is the Japanese economy headed as it transitions to a "steady state" ahead of the rest of the world, and what choices should we make? Here are the answers!
