(All Around Tokyo - 20 mile range)Economy Secondary Matter
Economy is a secondary matter.
So, Jesus Christ preached continuously for three days without Himself eating and providing foods for a multitude of people.
It looks like that everybody was satisfied even physically listening to teaching of Jesus Christ.
So, foods, money, and economy are all a secondary matter for mankind.

The above figures tell that economy of Japan is very exceptional.
This difference must be well understood. Simple economic theories European and American economists can think of cannot apply to Japan.
The above figures alone justify provision of yen notes by the Japanese Government to replace tax collection with this scheme of using Government-printed yen notes for execution of budget.
Practically, the government notes will be exchanged with yen notes the Bank of Japan prints through an account in the BOJ.
Conversely, the GDP deflator of Japan requests the Japanese government to infuse more yen notes into the society apart from monetary operation by the BOJ.
If the GDP deflator of Japan is turned into a positive figure as a result of a large scale provision of yen notes by the Japanese Government, it means that the society has now appropriate level of yen notes.
The foreign exchange market will fairly appraise yen, accordingly.
SECTION II: BRAZIL
The 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games did not help Mexico develop and catch up with America, at least in terms of security in society.
The 2004 Athens Olympic Games did not help Greece develop and catch up with Germany, at least in terms of financial security.
Is the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games helping China develop and catch up with Japan, at least in terms of non-gilded GDP?

Unlike the export-based drug cartels of Colombia or Mexico, Rio's gangs are wholesale importers—of cocaine from Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, and of marijuana from Paraguay—as well as managers of their own retail distribution networks. At least a hundred thousand people work for the drug gangs of Rio in a hierarchical structure that mimics the corporate world. The state is almost completely absent in the favelas. The drug gangs impose their own system of justice, law and order, and taxation—all by force of arms. Rio is the top-ranked city in the world for "violent international deaths," with just under five thousand murders last year, at least half of which were drug-gang related. Two decades after the collapse of Communism the region's Marxist guerrillas have disappeared, only to be replaced by violent drug mafias. The politician and former guerrilla Alfredo Sirkis likens the spread of Rio's gang culture to Al Qaeda's appeal to disenfranchised youths in Muslim societies.

Brazil can meet 90% of its demand for crude oil with its own domestic production of crude oil.
Brazil is the No. 1 exporter of iron ore in the world.
Brazil is the No. 1 producer of bio-ethanol in the world.
Will economic growth in a present manner realize the rule of justice and law in Rio?
Can Brazil alone protect the nature of the Amazonian region?
As Brazil once suffered a 16,358,800% increase or 160,000-times increase in the consumption price index, mentality of the people must be very unique.
Incidentally, there are reportedly 280,000 Brazilians living in Japan that has a population of 127 million.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilians_in_Japan
Among 79,960 Brazilian visitors to Japan in 2007, 1,160 were arrested by the police in criminal cases. This crime rate (1,396/100,000) is four times larger than that of Japanese citizens (298/100,000).

But, how Jesus Christ solved the matter of foods, money, and economy is very practical.
It looks so, since He knew that many of the people had foods and money hidden in their bags and pockets while pretending that they had not.

What is common between the sun, the sky, and the sea? They are expected to be great if not always vibrant.)
Mar 8:1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
Mar 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mar 8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
Mar 8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
