From daily life to international affairs, the workings of society come into view!
Explained through 50 diagrams!
Knowing policy is also knowing the cultivated knowledge of business
★Know the policies that have changed society, and the workings of the world come into view★
When you hear "policy," it may sound like a story from a distant world.
There are all kinds of policies. They are formed to reflect society's challenges—from the tax-free, advantageous new NISA, to the Education and Training Benefit System that subsidizes money for career advancement, to the Global Warming Countermeasure Tax. Thanks to systems our predecessors built, such as universal health insurance and public assistance, we can live with a safety net. On the other hand, there are also old ones that no longer fit the times.
How much do you know about policy? Knowing policy also means knowing how society is trying to respond to the challenges we currently face. These could be said to be essential knowledge for businesspeople, too.
This book explains representative policies through 50 diagrams. Get to know policy, and by all means come to know the workings of society.
