National Industrial Development
An important key to industrial development is that the state does not get in the way of ambitious managers and entrepreneurs. First of all, we should remove obstacles to industrial development, grow within it, and encourage the movement of companies that are contributing to industrial development as models.
Taxes put the brakes on the economy. If taxes are heavy, the economy will stagnate. Heavy taxes will be a big brake on national industry. Conversely, reducing or abolishing taxes will stimulate economic activity there. For industrial development, it is important not to tax economic activities that contribute to the development of national industry as much as possible.
For national industrial development, it seems better to have as few national projects as possible. If a nation uses taxes or issues debt to launch a big project, it will have to raise taxes or increase its debt balance. Neither increasing taxes nor increasing the debt balance is very good for the industrial development of the country. If you place an order with a company through competitive bidding for a national project, it will contribute to increasing the company's sales. However, an increase in public works tends to lead to an increase in the vested interests structure and corruption, which tends to stagnate the industry as a whole. This is because companies need to make a lot of donations and slush funds, which means that they will not be able to invest in technological advancement and strengthening competitiveness.
Regulations put the brakes on corporate activities. Increased regulation will hinder ventures and new entrants into the market. Deregulation is said to be very effective in revitalizing the economy. For industrial development, it is important to reduce regulations as much as possible and not to interfere with the free economic activities of companies.
Countries sometimes adopt protective trade policies to protect their domestic industries. The reason why a country adopts a protective trade policy for a specific industry is that the domestic industry is inferior to that of other countries. But protecting the inferior can further undermine the industry. The important thing is not to simply protect them, but to motivate them to compete with their foreign peers and survive, and to encourage them to take action.
States may provide various subsidies for domestic industrial development and other purposes. It is attractive for companies and individuals to receive subsidies. However, as a result, companies and individuals may only act "for subsidies". If managers only think about receiving subsidies, the company will not develop in a very good direction. If the action of "subsidy aim" becomes the center, the national industry may not develop.
A nation is made up of people. A nation is composed of its citizens. A prosperous nation is when its people are rich. A nation cannot be prosperous unless its citizens are prosperous. In order for many citizens to become wealthy, it is necessary to revitalize corporate activities and develop the economy. To that end, it is necessary to create an environment in which people and companies can work actively.
A nation must be a place where people can live with peace of mind as a home to which they should return. It would be nice if there were a place to live and a job that are the basis of life, friends, competition to develop skills, a culture that enriches the mind, and an educational system that allows you to learn at any time. A nation must continue to provide opportunities for its citizens to become richer. It is the raison d'etre of a nation to remain the place its citizens want to spend their entire lives here.
A nation must respect its national polity. If the national polity is defiled, or if the national polity itself is lost, the nation will not only fall into disrepair, but will even lose its raison d'etre as a nation. A nation should always respect its national polity and never neglect it. A nation is made up of a national polity, and a national polityis made up of people's support.
Crisis management is a national priority. Predicting, grasping, and managing crises that could plague the nation is essential for people to live with peace of mind. Direct and easy-to-understand crises include foreign military threats, disasters, epidemics, crime, and domestic riots, but they are not the only crises. The laziness and bad habits of governments and people are also invisible crises that slowly but surely lead nations toward bankruptcy.
A nation must make full use of its intelligence to ensure its own survival and development. Intelligence and its active use are essential in order for knowledge and information to successfully contribute to the survival and development of a nation. In order for the nation to prosper, it is necessary for the people to learn intelligence and how to use it.
Education is essential for the prosperity of a nation. A nation's destiny will change greatly depending on how it educates. Prosperous nations place a strong emphasis on education. Education must evolve with the times. A country that continues to have a biased and outdated education will gradually decline. What kind of education should be provided is an important issue that affects the prosperity of the nation.
In order for a nation to prosper, it is most important that the nation itself is healthy. When a nation is sick and in a slump, its survival, let alone its prosperity, is at stake. In order to maintain good health, it is necessary to treat and prevent diseases that undermine the nation, and to develop habits to maintain good health at all times. National health is also important for the safety and health of our citizens.
Industrial development is essential for a nation to prosper. If industry develops, it can be expected that employment will increase and people's income will increase. If income increases and people become richer, tax revenue will naturally increase, and the national budget can also be increased. What should we do as a nation to successfully develop industry? Creating an environment for industrial development is important for a nation to prosper.
Military is of national importance. A nation that neglects its military will perish. In order to protect the people and national assets from foreign threats, the nation must build up its military strength. However, if the military expenditure is too large, it will be a big burden for the nation. The people must think carefully about what to do with the military to make the country prosperous.
The nation must strive for welfare and disaster prevention so that citizens can live with peace of mind. There are many things that the state can do for welfare. Also, since we do not know when and how large a disaster will come, we must always be prepared. However, welfare and disaster prevention should not put pressure on national finances and jeopardize national management.
It costs money to run a country. National expenditures are basically covered by “taxes” that are compulsorily collected from the people. The management of the country changes greatly depending on where and how much tax is collected. The market economy, people's lives, national defense capabilities, disparities between the rich and the poor, injustice and security, and the level of education of the people are affected by the way taxes are applied. The nation must find and adopt a tax system that will prosper in the medium to long term.
It may be said that the prosperity of a nation ultimately depends on how its people live. A country cannot be said to be prosperous if many of its citizens are suffering and miserable. A nation's prosperity requires, above all else, an overall improvement in the lives of its people. There is no prosperity for the nation if the people's lives do not improve.
States are inevitably involved in international politics. A nation must survive in international politics while protecting its own sovereignty and citizens. Furthermore, in order for a country to prosper, it is necessary to strengthen its own political system so that it is not swayed by international politics, and to strengthen its presence and influence in international politics. In order to aim for national prosperity in international politics, where countries around the world have mixed expectations, long-term plans and steady development efforts are required.
Sometimes nations have to go to war to survive. War consumes a great deal of national power and causes a great deal of damage. Still, winning a war can show your strength as a nation. However, in some cases, the nation becomes extremely weak, and the nation itself may perish. Both choosing war and avoiding war pose risks for nations. War is an extremely serious issue that should not be taken lightly.
Economic globalization is progressing, and the domestic economy will not develop well if we only look at domestic trends. It is necessary to aim for the development of the national economy in light of global economic trends. No matter where we are today, we cannot avoid the impact of the global economy, and we must work to improve our competitiveness in the world for the sake of national prosperity.
A nation should be a place where people feel happy to be there. The state is required to pursue policies that will make the majority of the people happier. In order for the nation to prosper, it is desirable that the people become rich and their sense of happiness increases. First of all, let's think carefully about what we can do to make the people happy.
A nation makes history. Now that we have created history, we would like to utilize it for the prosperity of the nation. If, by reading the history of a nation, people will become diligent, make no mistakes, and do their best for the nation's further prosperity, then there is nothing to be desired. When we create history, we want to create a history that will inspire future generations to read our history and aim to build a better nation.
A nation leaves various legacies through its activities. Seeing the legacy left by a nation, future generations will appreciate that nation. It is no exaggeration to say that the future value of a nation is determined by what kind of legacy it leaves behind. When a nation conducts activities, it may be better to be aware of what kind of legacy it will leave in the future and how it can be evaluated by future generations.
