Why? Are Japanese people supposed to act according to US economics?
tl;dr Japan special
For the rest nothing worth reading in this article
The singular and only American economic principle is that money is the only and most important thing. The rest of the world knows better.
I mean, American economy was (and still is) powerhouse with many countries closely following it, trying to maintain favour and relationship with it. Atleast until Trump it was. So nothing new there.
That aside, despite working for prestigious university, this guy’s nihonjinron is spilling hard.
Nihonjinron alive and well at the highest levels of academia. Yokata ne
Not exactly true, in Japan most Muslims are peaceful Indonesians who come here to work. Yet the reason why Japan has Islamophobia is mostly US ideology… Same for japanese economy
>日本社会には、海外、とりわけ戦後の米国からの外来種知識をありがたく導入し、時には大上段に振りかざし、しかし実際には、誰もそれに従ってはいない、という奇妙な特質がみられる。
>その底にあるのは、あくまで「見えざる日本文化」であり、それを私は「根源的価値」と呼びたい。この「根源的価値」をわれわれは決して日常的に意識しているわけではない。それについての思想的論議があるわけでもない。米国が唱える「個人主義」「自由主義」「民主主義」「人権主義」「法の支配」などはきわめて明示的に述べられた価値である。
>日本もそれを受け入れた。しかし、それが日本に根づいたわけでもないし、それが、われわれの日々の行動を規制しているとも思えない。むしろ、何か無意識の文化や価値観によって、われわれの日常は支えられているのであろう。
TIL – supply/demand and free markets are a silly gaijin concept not suitable for Japan
What’s up with Kyoto university producing wack ideas that nobody else believes (inter-universal teichmuller theory)
The indomitable Yamato spirit has caused the lost decade
Yo, can I get some peer reviews for my latest thesis, „Ah our clan is blessed by the gods, not bound by science“
The article makes sense to me. It seems like an experienced professor analyzing his own culture.
Capitalism with Japanese characteristics?
„invisible principles“ – a.k.a. we’re just than you lot.
Piss off, prof.
Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
You must feel the Nihonjinron around you; here, between you, me, the Fami-ma, the can of chu-hi, everywhere.
That’s a bit daft, but economists do categorize economies into 1. Normal economies 2. Argentina and 3. Japan, so…
Holy fuck I’m so tired of this Yamato shit
