I went to Tokyo American Center yesterday to listen to the speech by Christopher F. Wurzel, Enonomic Policy Unit Chief, US Embassy. I wasn't interested in the topic that much. But, joining the speech was free and it was a nice opportunity to listen to educated American's speech.
Anyway, he discussed global economy. He insists that Japan needs to be open for global market, citing the growth of UK economy and criticizing protectionalism.
I was very impressed when he said "globalization did seem to increase income gap between highest and lowest." And I thought that it was hard to hide your weekness when you discuss English. In Japanese debates, you don't have to answer any questions about the weakness of your opinions.
