A567  First of all, let us first take on the difficult problem of how to overcome the economic disparity that we are currently facing. The progressive taxation proposed by economists like Piketty has been slow to realize for various reasons. We need to come up with an effective alternative to this. Despite this, no other concrete plan for a breakthrough has come from any experts. What on earth should I do?

Q565  Since there are so many giants of knowledge that you can't think of Mr./Ms., there are no good alternatives in the end. Conversely, if there is a good alternative, the person who came up with it is a great genius. It's a miracle that a cute cat transforms into a brave tiger. Please try to transform into that tiger on this blog.

A566 I understand. Let's try to see if we can transform by squeezing out the wisdom that we don't have. Anyone has the freedom to take on the challenge of transformation. From the beginning, we modern people are all convinced that there is no way we can find a way out. You don't try to think for yourself. This is also a factor that causes this shortcoming, which Dostoevsky of the 20th century writer miserably foresaw, that the greatest flaw of modern people is ignorance = turning a blind eye.

Q566  I am becoming more and more interested. Please give it a try.　　　

A567 But first, let's look back at the actual situation. Faced with the difficult question of how to overcome economic disparities, the most effective way to squeeze taxes from the people by means other than progressive taxation is to raise the consumption tax rate. It is squeezed evenly, and the feeling of pain does not directly resonate, but the result is great. However, this stimulates the public's feelings. It is a vaguely psychological depressing, and since there are an overwhelming number of small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, it pushes those who are responsible for it severely. Don't you think so?

Q567 No, I agree. In fact, I have received a letter from a student who went to the Faculty of Economics at a private university with the hope of studying data science thoroughly. At university, they are so busy acquiring detailed IT skills that they don't have a chance to learn the whole knowledge that was mentioned in this blog last time. What emerges most from data science is the real problem of how to overcome economic disparities, but it is missing. Give this promising young man a hopeful yardstick. How about?

A568 That's a very good problem. For the time being, how do we overcome economic disparities? Is the only way to do that is to raise the consumption tax rate other than progressive taxation?　This is now the biggest concern. Next time, let's ask the question of how to recover total knowledge and think about how to overcome it.

Q568  I'm interested. Please give it a try.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(End of the series in May)
