舜平太「ゼロから何かを創り出す能力の話」

プロ野球のピッチャーで珍しい名前だなと思ってて親がある経済学者に傾倒してたのだろうと推測できる選手がいる。技術革新こそが社会を進化させていくという説を唱えたあの学者だ。
There is a pitcher with a rare name in a certain baseball team, which reminds us of a certain economist who has been famous for the technical term “innovation.”
We could easily imagine that his parents should consider his economic concept as something vital in our society.
Innovation absolutely causes human society to evolve, but an existing system should be destroyed completely.

創造的破壊という言葉に惹かれる。既存の停滞した腐敗した世界を変えるには破壊することから始まる。そうでなければ社会はいい方向に進化できない。それを日本語で技術革新という。
The technical term “creative destruction” captured his loosened mind solidly, which explains that an existing stagnant and corrupt society should be broken thoroughly, and something innovative converts the  current society into a normal situation without fail.
Otherwise, the society could never improve toward an ideal condition, which has been called “innovation.”

資本主義が成功すると巨大企業が生まれる。儲かりすぎて体制が官僚化する。そして社会主義に移行するというわけだ。それはまさに今の世界経済そのままであると言いたいところだが。
When capitalism system makes it, the system gives birth to major enterprises, which would tremendously become profitable, and they should be controlled by bureaucrats.
As a result, capitalism system could be replaced with socialism counterpart, an online article says.
We might want to suggest that such a situation should be what the current world economy is, but the fact isn’t the case, to our sorrow, numerous economists agree.

日本社会は政権与党が裏金を使って自分たちの立場を守りながら存命してきた。ソーシャルメディアで若者を政治に巻き込み創造的破壊が可能かもしれないと思わせた彼も尻すぼみだな。
In Japan, the government parties have survived several critical situations with kickbacks, or secret money.
As a result, they have protected their positions, and they have still been the government parties, he assumes.
A certain male candidate of Tokyo governor’s election utilized the social media’s power in order to involve numerous young independent voters, which enabled him to be on the second position at the election, we know.
In recent weeks, he has been criticized violently with social media, as a result, he would fade out soon.
