I just got the book so I'm going to read into it on what really happens to a nation that becomes too wealthy for its own good.
Japan is soon to increase the sales tax to 10%. They are playing a very confusing came with the public about the way things are going to be taxed. I really don't think the people here are really ready for the 10% sales tax. Most young people in the major cities are barely getting by these days. Even us older folks seem to have less money in our pockets due to the 8% tax rate, plus all the other taxes we have to pay.
Anyway, if you've read the book, post your thoughts about it.
