Japan's World Series: the Well-fed and the Poor

About This Novel
Japanese society during the bubble economy era was as fickle as a dream bubble and as erratic as duckweed with a broken stem, and was filled with uneasiness everywhere. They are blinded by the desires in front of them and trapped in serial debts, unable to extricate themselves. They are assimilated by machines in the baptism of the IT revolution. They are struggling painfully between appetite and unbalanced inner world... Everyone is driven by the obsession with success, drifting with the flow and exhausted. What exactly do we want to do? What kind of life do you want to live? Where will the new poor people drifting in the era of overfed people go? With the rapid development of the economy, Japan has finally emerged from the post-war famine era when it was struggling to survive. However, the improvement of living standards has not reduced people's anxiety and insecurity. It has only changed from "poverty in poverty" to "poverty in prosperity." In this new era where people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, people who are still trapped in the extreme state of poverty, busyness and debt are called "the underfed poor". They are not only "corporate warriors" supporting Japan's economic development, but they are also victims of this brutally competitive society.

Real poverty is when you have been struggling in the illusion that you will have money, and you are struggling to pursue...
Using history as a mirror
If future generations mourn and fail to take note of it, it will also make future generations mourn for future generations again.
Consequences of an economy-dominated society
This book is very good. Japan experienced rapid economic development relatively early, and China is currently experiencing what Japan has experienced. This is the consequence of a social system based on economism. Socialism is a society where everyone is equal in people's imagination, but the reality is that people are just slaves enslaved by society.
The author is really awesome
This documentary real economics work is really readable! In addition, many things in the book are what we are experiencing now, and they feel eerily familiar. It also makes people reflect on what I really want and who I want to be. There are also many psychological terms that are really eye-opening. I also discovered that only by living a serious and good life can I be worthy of myself.
