逆境を嘆く前に克服する強さを(渋澤 健の資本主義と道徳)
- 記事詳細
- ポーランドというと、日本人にとっては遠い国に感じるかもしれません。ポーランドは日本の友好国です。また、東西の狭間に位置する旧共産圏が資本主義へと社会が発展する過程において直面した課題は、日本と相似点と相違点の両方があります。 I had the opportunity to visit Poland for the first time, to participate in a Poland-Japan conference to discuss cultural similarities and differences. For most Japanese, Poland probably feels like a very distant country. However, Warsaw was the first city outside of Japan, where I saw more Sushi restaurants than Chinese. Because Japan defeated Russia, Poland’s nemesis, in the Russo-Japanese War, many Polish people seem to have a positive historic image of Japan. Also, during 1920-21, the Japanese Red Cross and government saved 765 Polish orphans from Siberia and sent them back to Poland. And, in 1995, Poland reciprocated by inviting children who suffered trauma after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. In the conference, we discussed a range of topics including corporate governance, small businesses, competition and social responsibility of corporations. Poland offers an interesting perspective in that they are participating in the prosperity as well as the difficulties of a western capitalist society, after many years ruled under the Communist regime. One Polish academic said that in the Polish language, the word, “business” has negative connotations, while another did not agree with her assessment. It appears there is an interesting mix of values within Poland. 「ワルシャワ蜂起」を乗り越えたポーランド ポーランドは、2004年に欧州連合国(EU)に加盟しました。
