Abstract

During the period of Shinzo Abe’s administration just past, Japan has just experienced a rare long-term economic growth, i.e. the so-called “Abenomics Boom”. Japan’s major economic indicators have risen to reach high levels in the 1990s. But in the view of the Japanese Communist Party, these growth was actually unreal. Those who benefited from it are all monopoly capitalism such as large companies and consortia represented by the Abe government; while the ordinary working class did not receive an increase in wages or welfare. Therefore, Japanese Communist Party has made many criticisms of Japan’s current economic policies, including financial and monetary policies, labor and employment policies, and social security policies, etc. These criticisms represent another voice of Japan’s economic policy.
