@bibliolater @economics Thats hilarious, coming from a country which exported all its industry to China and is now unable to produce paper masks and rubber gloves during a pandemic.
@Smrki @economics What do you think about the question raised in the video namely that traditional methods are make the Japanese economy inefficent?
@bibliolater @economics I am very cynical about it. I mean this comes from a country which has exported its knowledge and industry to China, in a futile attempt to raise its efficiency. What is efficiency? Efficiency for whom? Removing all jobs and sending them overseas? Is that efficient, transforming an industrial country into a collection of rust belts? I disagree with that. I think both Japan and Germany decided against that, and did well.
