Japan's decline shows no sign of stopping. In October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that Japan's GDP is expected to be overtaken by Germany in 2023 and fall to fourth place in the world. One of the reasons is population decline. The more capitalism develops, the more it neglects people and undermines the conditions for capitalism to work. Not only in Japan, but in other developed countries around the world, birth rates are steadily declining. This can also be seen as evidence that capitalism, which is supported by things like housework and the natural environment, has developed by preying on these "outsides," and is now in the process of collapse. With the help of two textbooks, Shirai and I will analyze the relationship between population decline and capitalism.・Capital with a "Zero Population"https://bookclub.kodansha.co.jp/produ... ・Why Capitalism Doesn't Make People Happyhttps://www.chikumashobo.co.jp/produc...
