40 Years from the "New Breed" to Gen Z A Dialogue on "Lost Time, Stolen Nation" Tokyo Keizai University "Modern Thought a, Social Thought a" Edited by Takaki Sabao and Yukihiro Masuda 2,400 yen (excluding tax) [Contents] This book is a compilation of reports written by 185 students as assignments for the class "Modern Thought a / Social Thought a" taught by Takaki Sabao at Tokyo Keizai University, using Yukihiro Masuda's book "Lost Time, Stolen Nation" (Sakuhinsha) as a text. The book explores the changes in perspectives and ways of thinking from the "New Breed" generation to Gen Z. ... This book is a record of the lecture "Modern Thought a / Social Thought a" taught by Takaki Sabao, a professor at Tokyo Keizai University, with over 250 students enrolled, where "Lost Time, Stolen Nation: The '30-Year War of Heisei' Seen Through a Financier" (Sakuhinsha) was used as the textbook. To deepen understanding of the content, Sabao conducted two pre-learning sessions explaining the bubble economy, globalization, finance, and more. Based on the reports submitted by students who read the book after these sessions, an online class was held with the participation of Yoshiaki Sasako, the protagonist of the book, from Hong Kong, and Yukihiro Masuda, the interviewer, from Slovakia, who answered questions. This book reprints the reports and the online class from that time, along with an introductory essay by Sabao and reviews by critics published in various media. How do students of Gen Z, born after the collapse of the bubble economy, read the "lost 30 years" experienced by Sasako, a financier of the "New Breed" generation born during the period of high economic growth, and its subsequent collapse? The sincere voices of 185 Gen Z individuals who will lead society in the future offer a glimpse into the direction of this critical era. CCM HONGKONG Yoshiaki Sasako
