SS: Are there any economists on this sub? This (dated) article on Japan sounds almost too good to be true, a country that puts its people first and is organized around productive labor rather than being dominated by the financial sector.

If anyone has visited or lived in Japan, feel free to comment.

Edit: Also, least anyone thing Japan is a utopia, the website landofthesettingsun.com makes a depressing read. I really hope they can hold out and keep their culture intact.
