| Abstract: | Just five years ago, few nations seemed as sure of their destiny as Japan. But the recession has changed all that. Where there once was certainty, there is now doubt. Increasingly, the Japanese wonder where their country is heading. It is a cool Wednesday morning in the heart of Tokyo. A large group of homeless men are waiting for the free noodles handed out daily. Itakura Tamotsu, 52, is there, but not for the food. He is meeting some old friends who have fallen on hard times. Recruiters always spot him in the crowd of job-seekers and offer him work. |
