フリードマンは1976年にノーベル経済学賞受賞した20世紀後半におけるマネタリストで、新自由主義を代表する学者として位置づけられています。
そんなフリードマンですが、医療と教育を市場原理に委ねるのには反対していました。
アメリカで生活をすると、医療制度が非常に複雑であることを感じるものです。
アメリカの大学は私立がトップ校と考えられており、国立大学の地位が高い日本、インド等と違って、アメリカの教育は資本主義が徹底されていることが分かります。
銀行は資本主義の象徴ですが、アメリカと日本では銀行の組織運営に大きな違いがあります。
銀行を退職してから8年近くが経過しましたが、銀行口座を動かすためだけにニューヨークに行くことになるとは夢にも思いませんでした。
人生は何が起こるかわかりませんね。
それでは、本日もPDCAを回して行きましょう！

＜ 本日のボンジュール英語「市場原理」 = 「market principle」＞
今回出てきた「市場原理」の英訳は、「market principle」になります。
「医療と教育を市場原理に委ねる」を英語で表現する場合、「Leave healthcare and education to market principles」とすればよいですね😊。
I worked in New York for two years from 2002, but I haven't been to Manhattan for over 20 years since returning to Japan.
Perhaps it was because life in New York was so hard that I never thought about going back.
But, I'm going to New York from September 9, 2024.
The reason is that my bank account in New York was frozen, and I was told that the only way to activate my account is to come to a branch in Manhattan.
The United States is a superpower, but it is also a mysterious society, with people being told to "come here physically" for reasons that are unclear, and paper checks still in circulation.
The reason my bank account in New York was frozen was because there had been no movement for 60 days.
If the same thing had happened in Japan, I would have called the Financial Services Agency immediately and had them deal with it.
I worked at a bank for five years from 2011 dealing with the Financial Services Agency, so I feel that Japanese authorities listen carefully to the voices of the people, and I think this is a good thing.
However, I was also skeptical of the attitude of the Japanese financial authorities, who "instruct banks on even the smallest details."
In the United States, it seems that banks have the "right to close accounts" and accounts are often frozen without notice to customers.
From the perspective of American banks, they may judge "an account with no activity = a customer who is not making profits," and may be taking the approach of terminating the account based on the logic of capital.
The document I will introduce this time, "If the Japanese Prime Minister had read Friedman's 'Capitalism and Freedom,'" was published in 2011 and describes a world in which the exchange rate exceeds 150 yen to the dollar in 2015.
Friedman was a monetarist in the late 20th century who won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1976, and is regarded as a representative scholar of neoliberalism.
But, Friedman was opposed to leaving healthcare and education to market principles.
Living in the United States, you can feel that the healthcare system is extremely complicated.
In the United States, private universities are considered to be the top schools.
Unlike Japan and India, where national universities have a high status, American education is thoroughly capitalist.
Banks are a symbol of capitalism, but there are big differences between the way banks are run in the United States and Japan.
It's been almost eight years since I left my job at a bank, but I never dreamed I'd be going to New York just to move my bank account.
You never know what's going to happen in life.
Let's function PDCA today!
