It depends, people can move in the wrong direction too. I especially worry about country with recent growth too tied in their fever. I appreciate countries with experience. Also not all new is good. Look at the nutrition theories of the 50s that are somehow bogus, while old japanese villages and Mediterranean islands have longer lifespans. We need perspective and patience.
They don't want to move forward, under the condition that Japan would still be rich and prosperous as it is/was today.
No, not anymore.
The Japanese has lost their electronics industry to US/South Korea/China. The myth of Made by Japan equals high quality is debunked by scandals that just doesn't seem to stop. And look at the crazy policies Japan had used to stimulate their economy. Don't want? No, they are more than desperate.
When you stay static, the world moves forward, you will be left behind. If US decides not to move forward, then China would happily reap all the economical outcome for the years to come, and US would become poorer and jobs would go away too. It is indeed a myth that politics can fix this. No, it cannot. Conservative thinking that they can freeze the time by voting is fantasy. Growth is a game you have to participate, it is a capitalist world, after all. However, what politics could fix, is to solve the redistribution problem, to have more people share the pie, not a handy few.
