家园 【文摘】《经济学人》的评述

给华恩兄补充点今天看到的评述:

---------------------------------------------

自1955年以来几乎无间断执政的自民党实为冷战之孓遗。自柏林墙倒塌,日本泡沫经济破灭以来,其时日便已屈指可数。就帮助日本成为世界上最为强大并且公平的工业国家之一,该党曾经所起的作用现在看来几乎已成为久远的历史。近些年来,其一直在玩弄一套肮脏的把戏,对诸如出口商、建筑商和农民等给予了太多的恩惠,从而获得他们的投票和金钱以使其继续执政。该党和日本臭名昭著的保守官僚机构那些见不得人的联系阻止其去解决日本累积的社会问题。在日本这个老龄化社会中,许多靠领养老金过日子的人仍旧活得精力充沛,而这个执政党看上去却已经完全老朽了。

遗憾地是日本的民主党看起来是如此地没有经验,并对接管该国政治准备不足............

The LDP, in power almost without interruption since 1955, is a cold-war relic. Its days have been numbered since the collapse of the Berlin Wall coincided with the bursting of Japan’s bubble economy.

What good the party did in helping build one of the world’s mightiest and most egalitarian industrial nations is now almost ancient history. In recent years it has played a sordid game, lavishing favours on those—such as exporters, builders and farmers—whose votes and money have kept it in power. Its unseemly ties with the country’s famously conservative bureaucracy have prevented it from tackling Japan’s pressing social problems. In an ageing society where many pensioners are refreshingly sprightly, the ruling party looks utterly clapped-out.

A pity then that the party that looks likely to win the most seats in the lower house, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), looks so callow and ill-prepared to take over.
