(Around the Tokyo Station)What is a Lesson?
Once a Japanese tourist hired a guide in Haiti. But, when the time came for him to leave Haiti, he found that the guide could not read and write though the Haitian could speak English well in addition to French, the local language, and maybe Spanish.
Once the Japanese Government sent an envoy to Haiti for a presidential inauguration ceremony. Though it was a minister-class politician who was dispatched to Haiti, it was a one-man envoy representing Japan. Yet, Japan did not neglect Haiti where only a few Japanese tourists visited per year in those days, according to the Japanese embassy in Port-au-Prince.
Once I heard a news report that the U.S. sent troops to Haiti to secure American national interest. I felt very strange at that time and wondered why the super-power America could not find any other means to secure American interest. And I wondered who in Haiti would fight against the super-power America using weapons. "America might be losing wisdom," maybe I had to think so, since afterwards CIA and FBI failed to prevent the 9/11 Terror.
SECTION I: WHO MADE HAITI POOR?
It is mostly French who requested big compensation money in exchange of admitting independence of Haiti in 1804 that made Haiti so poor.
French pirates had eventually occupied the west part of the Hispaniola island through a long struggle with Spanish that had lasted for a century. Accordingly the French Government made Haiti its territory in 1697.
Hence Haiti grew to be the richest colony of France providing so much wealth for its colonial master France.
There were 30,000 Europeans in Haiti when African slaves got into the war of independence due to Napoleon's breach of promise for freeing them. In this process, two thirds of Europeans in Haiti were killed and executed, and the rest were driven out of the island. (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SilkRoad-Lake/2917/zatsu/bundan#02)
Now we know who must save Haiti: European capitalists.
(Note: There is no colonial master for Japan, since Japan has never been colonized by any European countries. Rather, the Empire of Japan drove Western powers out of South East Asia during WWII.)
SECTION II: A, B, C, Etc.
If you have only one element of information "A," there are two cases that you have to deal with:
Naught and "A"
If you have two elements of information "A" and "B," there are five cases that you have to deal with:
Naught, "A," "B," "AB," and "BA"
If you have three elements of information "A," "B," and "C," there are 16 cases that you have to deal with:
Naught, "A," "B," "C," "AB," "BA," "BC," "CB," "CA," "AC," "ABC," "ACB," "BAC," "BCA,"CAB," and "CBA"
In 1960's, only big businesses used large-sized computers.
In 1970's, many offices and factories started to use various sizes of computers.
In 1980's, even individuals started to use PCs.
In 1990's, the Internet was welcomed.
In 2000's, mobile phones with various Internet functions were welcomed.
That is why any economic theories must be superseded by other more effective theories as the scale of economy of a nation or the world has made a quantum jump.
An increase of elements needs adoption of a new theory to handle them even in an old sphere.
The role of the central bank should be changed.
The rule on interest should be changed.
Taxation and public fiance should be also changed.
Even, significance of the primary balance should be changed.
It is so, since their paradigm is in the era of the element "A" alone, while there are "A to Z" elements in the global market nowadays.
And, once there was only one non-European/American economic power: Japan. But, today you can see China, Brazil, India, Korea, and so on...

If you ("A": Adam or his offspring) are alone, you can think about the God and yourself taking 50% (1/2) of your time for each.
If you have your bride ("B"), you can think about the God taking 20% (1/5) of your time.
If you have your wife and your child ("C"), you can think about the God taking only 6.25% (1/16) of your time, as proven above.
(This is called EEE-Rule on A, B, and C, as I have so named here.)
That is why Jesus Christ said to follow Him leaving everything and everyone behind, since the matter is whether you are going to see the God or not.
So, how blessed you are if you have now no wife, no children, and nothing for any reasons as a matter of fact! Think about the God even in the middle of an earthquake!
Tit 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
