A look at Shinzo Abe’s contribution as Japan’s longest serving prime minister. Taking them from economic and social decline, to a flourishing country.He lifted his country out of the pacifist dogma adopted following World War Two. He contributed massively to Japan’s transformation into a country careful with its geopolitical and strategic interests so it could take up the seat it deserved at the table of global security operations. He was called a fascist by certain under-developed minds.
He had, however, inherited a country in the midst of a deep crisis, that was not only economic and financial, but also existential.
Thanks to Abe, Japan was able to face its destiny, and even force it through by conjuring a veritable revolution of culture and values that revitalised the labour market. In “This Japan that won’t stop surprising us”, I outlined the measures taken under his leadership that led to Japan displaying a higher rate of employment among women than the US — this is done through developing creche systems in order to facilitate women in the workplace.
Faced with Japan’s decline and confronted with disastrous demographic statistics, Shinzo Abe focused his determination on maintaining his country’s status. His conviction was largely inspired by Keynes, who believed that until proven otherwise, we can only count on governments to save the economy by ensuring a strong and high-performing public sector, combined with decisive public spending and the proactive use of monetary policy.
