Tokyo and tech through the eyes of a split pea

Jesper Koll and NPY

Jesper Koll of Merrill Lynch Japan is making the rounds with his editorial on Japan’s NPY problem. My question is, has this been translated into Japanese and disseminated? I’m still not convinced the “English” taught in Japanese schools will suffice to understand the article. Changing a generation is a long and tedious process, and even more so rarely influenced in a desired way. There must be some statistic somewhere showing Japanese children as the most spoiled demographic on earth.
