The Hidden Costs of Capitalism: Japan’s Quiet Crisis
Japan’s economy runs on precision, loyalty, and quiet sacrifice.
But beneath the politeness lies a system just as ruthless as any Western market.
In this episode, Professor Jiang Xueqin examines how Japan’s unique brand of capitalism blends community with conformity — and why that balance may be cracking.
🧠 You’ll discover:
• How Japan built a capitalism rooted in discipline, not greed
• Why the pursuit of harmony became both its strength and its weakness
• The hidden costs of lifetime employment and social pressure
• What Japan’s system reveals about the future of global capitalism
Sometimes the quietest societies hide the deepest struggles.
