[QUOTE="muichimotsu, post: 74631674, member: 149131"] Outcomes in what sense? Japan has a good life expectancy, one of the best in the world, but its birth rate is severely declining, which isn't helped in part by an increased elderly population. And Japan does tend to still have some emphasis on a collective homogeneous society, so your observation seems to have an exception to it, if not more with further investigation (China comes to mind) The ambition for advancement is not innately a bad thing when tempered by a basic respect of autonomy. Economic status can be a good thing, but doesn't have to be balanced purely by some notion of fitting into society's expectations, but charity as a benefit to others and yourself as well, almost a noblesse oblige Corporatism and consumerism are not necessarily how capitalism ought to manifest and that's part of the issue is conflating the former 2 with the latter as a general method for approaching economic management. Capitalism in terms of encouraging innovation is part of how life expectancy has gone up, arguably, it's not a bad thing in itself [/QUOTE]
