Freedom and democracy are like water and air. When you live with them for a long time, you tend to stop appreciating them. However, I hope that only the nations with this system of freedom and democracy will last forever, and that they will become models for the world and lead the world. With this in mind, I have compiled this under the title "Towards Reform: The Path to a New Democracy." (Excerpt from "Introduction") ◆ Comes with a dust jacket. ◆ The dust jacket has no significant damage or stains, but there is some sun-fading on the spine. ◆ A handwritten message from the author to the recipient is written on the endpaper in a skillful calligraphy. ◆ The main text is 435 pages long. There is some slight yellowing due to aging, but there are no problems with reading. ◆ Price: 2,000 yen. ◆ First edition: November 20, 1987. ◆ The item will be given a simple cleaning, waterproof packaged, and shipped.
