Top Leaders, Super-Couples, and the Working Poor


Ms. Hiroko Kuniya of NHK this Thursday night presented Mr. David K. Shipleran, an American Pulitzer Prized author who wrote "The Working Poor: Invisible In America, 2004."

As it is a 30-minute TV program, Ms. Kuniya's interview with Mr. Shipleran could not fully cut the Gordian knot or satisfactorily hit between the eyes, but it well got straight to the point of globalization of economy.

This Wednesday, in Japan's Congress called the Diet, Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe (http://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/index-e.html) confronted the leader of the opposition party, the Democratic Party of Japan, Mr. Ichiro Ozawa (http://ozawa-ichiro.jp/) in the official "face-to-face debate between party leaders."

The tow top leaders in Japan should have discussed "The Working Poor: Invisible In Japan, 2007."

The debate, conducted for 45 minutes with national broadcasting, was somehow conventional and not breathtaking. Hence, Mr. Hiroshige Seko, the Advisor to the Prime Minister on Public Relations, wrote in his personal blog that Mr. Abe has just won (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/newseko).

Yes, I am also interested in "In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington" Mr. Robert E. Rubin and Mr. Jacob Weisberg wrote.

But, I found that Mr. Rubin seemed not to clearly understand difference between Japan and Latin American countries while he was in one of the most powerful office in the U.S. Government. Mr. Rubin looks like thinking that as Japan succeeded, Latin American countries should have succeeded; or as Latin American countries failed, Japan should have failed.

Princess Diana could not advance her relationships with an Egyptian nephew of Mr. Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi billionaire arms merchant.

However, Mr. Amartya Sen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amartya_Sen) married Ms. Emma Rothschild (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Georgina_Rothschild) in 1991 and won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 as the first Indian and also the first Asian Nobel Prize winner in this field.

Mr. Sen successfully discussed that poverty is not a simple matter of productivity but related to "market failure." He was also known as an advocate of "human security."

Mr. Sen wrote in one of his papers that Japan's success is deeply rooted into its cultural background, though he does not look like having a deep insight into Japan's history and religion.

Anyway, it may be regarded as an irony that an Egyptian hero could not complete his romance with Princess Diana but an Indian scholar could complete his romance with a daughter of the House of Rothschild.

From a theological point of view, one who owes his wealth to a merchant of death cannot please God; but another who make non-nonsense academic research on poverty may please God, especially if his wife, even if she is from a super-rich clan, studies human security.

From a theological point of view, the one who gets straight to the point of real and actual states of poor people with intention to please God can please God.

But, a US Treasury Secretary may not be able to please God so long as he cannot get straight to the point of real and actual states of poor people with intention to please God.

Anyway, if Japan and the U.S., in alliance and cooperation, cannot win the War on World Poverty, who can win this war?

Should we anchor our hope on a new super couple, say, of a nephew of billionaire arms merchant and a daughter of a super-rich clan, or otherwise of a princess of a great power and a Nobel Prized economist?



(So, good girls, now you know that you can be a focus of God's love, since even a real princess or a daughter of a super-rich family is being used for Glory of God. Otherwise, please invest in, for example, the electric power sector in India or other poor country.

I may discuss later "In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington.")
