The Japanese have earlier experience with the kind of financial
collapse going on now. They have taken a different tack to
"economics". You can get the gist at
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/01/what-if-we-worry-about-employment-rather-than-growth.html
- where there is a short video. I spent two short periods in Japan
(plot of save British shipbuilding) and they do a lot I don't like -
but they have an attitude towards employment (not always) we should
consider. Going for full employment rather turns economics on its
head.
