序言如今,日本人要想拥有一个美好的未来应该怎样思考历史?高速增长期已经过去了二十余年,日本人口减少的事实越来越明显,无法再出现曾经的高速增长。将未来置于现在的延长线上,并通过谋求量的增加来创造日本未来的想法也已行不通了。为了建设更好的社会,我们要重组连接过去与未来的历史思考模式。首先,应该给未来设定一个积极的目标,并且从那里开始重新阐释历史。笔者 Preamble Now, what should Japan think about history if it wants to have a beautiful future? The rapid growth period has passed for more than 20 years. The fact that Japan’s population is declining is more and more obvious and the former rapid growth can no longer occur. The idea of ​​putting the future on the present extension and creating the future of Japan by increasing its volume has also not worked. In order to build a better society, we must reorganize the historical thinking model that connects the past with the future. First, a positive goal should be set for the future, and from there reinstatement of history. author
