In a world undergoing drastic changes after the Cold War, the 20th-century industrial civilization, which prioritized growth, is being forced to change its values. Even in Japan, the Japanese-style systems and practices that were once key to its growth are now the target of global criticism. Can Japan, with this recession as a turning point, transition to a mature society that aims for fairness and coexistence? Amidst the balance between structural reform and measures to combat the recession, the political ideology that should be chosen is being questioned.
