Roadmap for the UK
Mail on Sunday: Welcome to rock bottom, Hitchens-San... A penetrating look at a Japan still reeling from TWO economic earthquakes
A good article following the difficulties suffered by irregular workers and the young in Japan. If you don't make it onto the corporate ladder (which requires University and perhaps 30 interviews) then you can easily end up as an irregular worker on low wages or even living in a Japanese equivalent of Hoovervile. Of course being Japanese there isn't a massive breakdown of social order and at least they have the technology to perhaps innovate their way out of the trough. I wonder how the UK will deal with its coming lost decade?

A lifetime of corporate drudgery or homeless, picking up the rubbish of the rich. What a choice - the right-wing utopia. The left-wing utopia didn't work and this is no better, unless you are one of the 'lucky', of course. No doubt there will be apologists for this just as there are for all other extremes, even in the next few posts, i'll bet. Whether it be communism or capitalism, inequality i.e. where the few benefit, out of proportion to their talents, at the expense of the many, is the real root cause of all these problems.
