Economists at think tanks and other organizations whose parent companies are banks, insurance companies, or securities companies, of course, cannot go against the Ministry of Finance or the Bank of Japan.

The following is an excerpt from an article by Yukihiro Hasegawa, which appeared in the current issue of the monthly magazine Hanada under the title "Why is the Abe administration so strong? Why do the Japanese people choose Shinzo Abe?
This article should be read by everyone, as it contains truths that you will never learn just by watching TV or reading the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
The asterisks indicate my own additions.
Abe's third term is almost inevitable.
Why is the Abe administration so strong?

Not only does it not contain any truth, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is just like North Korean propaganda...
It is because North Korea's propaganda broadcasts are a rehash of the Asahi Shimbun from before the war... they are exactly the same.
The monthly subscription fee for the Asahi Shimbun is over 5,000 yen, but the monthly magazine group that is full of real truth—in the case of Hanada—is 840 yen.
It is clear which one you should choose.
You can get all the daily news from the internet or watching TV.
There must be countless people besides me who have been made to pay over 5,000 yen to the Asahi and have been unconsciously indoctrinated with things like the need to be kind to Koreans and Korean residents in Japan and who have suffered terrible consequences as a result.
In other words, the Asahi makes you pay over 5,000 yen every month and brainwashes your mind to suit the wishes of China and the Korean Peninsula.
Reading the Asahi in detail is just a way of being brainwashed into a self-deprecating view of history and a pretense of moralism.
I have been reading the Asahi in detail for a long time, and I am genuinely, beyond all doubt, angry and frustrated about it.
As you know, I canceled my subscription and switched to the Sankei Shimbun.
On the other hand, these four monthly magazines are packed with articles that reveal the absolute truth.
Even if you subscribe to all of them, it will only cost you 3,200 yen.
There is no need to debate which one you should subscribe to.
The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
Abenomics was utterly the opposite of the economic policies of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan, which had been secretly controlling Japan until then.
The Ministry of Finance is aiming to increase taxes at any cost.
They believe that raising taxes will increase the Ministry of Finance's wallet and provide the resources to be distributed to the various ministries and politicians.
They think that the bigger the wallet, the more money they can distribute, increasing the authority of the Ministry of Finance.
Even if taxes are raised, if the economy worsens and tax revenue decreases, it will be a waste of time.
This is because raising taxes does not necessarily mean increasing revenue.
On the other hand, the Bank of Japan believed that monetary tightening was the correct path.
Having learned their lesson from the bubble economy of the 1980s, they believed that their top priority was to prevent inflation.
They believed that if there was even the slightest sign of an overheated economy, their role was to use the stick of monetary tightening to teach companies and households to behave disciplined.
Suppose you combine the policies of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan. In that case, you get a ridiculous policy package that is a recipe for recession: tax hikes plus monetary tightening.
However, in 2012, when the second Abe administration was born, this kind of policy thinking was widespread among mainstream economists and economists.
As long as academics listened to what the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan had to say, they would receive university budgets and be invited to join councils and the like, giving them prestige.
They would also have no shortage of part-time work, such as contributing to magazines and giving lectures.
Of course, economists working for think tanks whose parent companies are banks, insurance companies, or securities companies cannot challenge the Ministry of Finance or the Bank of Japan.
If they did, the parent company would immediately receive a complaint from the Ministry of Finance or the Bank of Japan, and they could even be fired.
This is because financial institutions profit from transactions in government bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance and transactions with the Bank of Japan.
Many academics and economists had become "their lackeys" through the "hidden profit-making" of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan.
Such a distorted structure had continued for a long time in Japan.
