The career of the parents determines the career of the children, the income of the parents determines the income of the children, and the class of the parents determines the class of the children. No matter how poor a family is, it is difficult to produce a noble son? Private schools have become aristocratic and public schools have become elitist; there is a lack of vocational education and college students are unemployed upon graduation; young people have no savings and their pensions are in vain; everyone is deprived of equal opportunities - inequality and class gaps in education, employment and other aspects are widening. _X000D_
The president of the Japan Economic Society used detailed data to reveal the severe social conditions of youth unemployment, female poverty, and the helplessness of the elderly, which have always been ignored, and proposed solutions. The author is not limited to the standpoint of an economist, but tries to speak for the disadvantaged groups with humanistic care. _X000D_

This book truly reveals the problem of social disparity and resonates with me. Just like the friends around me, some people have good family conditions, can receive better education, and find jobs more easily; while some people need to face more difficulties and challenges. The author's writing style is concise and easy to understand, using data to speak for itself and full of humanistic care, which gave me a deeper understanding of the current situation of disadvantaged groups. I think this is a very meaningful book and worth reading.
