...midst of all this rich success, did 67.6% of Japanese respond to a recent Cabinet Office survey by saying that they felt anxious about their daily lives-the highest angst level recorded since the poll began nearly 40 years ago? Perhaps because they're looking beyond the next club opening or quarterly report, toward a national future that is anything but certain. Despite the country's economic recovery, Japan is still pinned beneath $6.9 trillion in public debt, and that's 1.5 times the nation's GDP, the worst ratio in the industrialized world.
