権力は集中し、結局は一人の権力者を生む。官僚は腐敗し、前例主義や文書主義に陥る。企業は悪辣になり、利益だけを追求し社会的責任を忘れる。このようなことは、どこの国でも起きていることで、特定の国の文化や民族性の問題ではなく、近代国家という構造が必ず生む帰結です。

According to our estimation results, growth rates in fudai domains/villages were approximately 10–16 percentage points lower than those of their counterparts. This is a substantial difference in growth rates for pre-industrial societies. Based on Maddison’s Historical Statistics, the GDP growth rate of China between 1600 and 1820—a time span which largely overlaps with the Edo Period (1600–1868)—was 72% while that of France in the same period was 89%. The difference in GDP growth rates between China and France across 220 years is merely 11 percentage points. Therefore, the difference caused by the insider-outsider distinction in Edo Japan is as large as the economic divergence between China and France in 1600–1820.
