中国の高官曰く「ダライ・ラマの転生の決定権はダライ・ラマ本人ではなく中国中央政府にある」 - Danas je lep dan.
『ニューヨーク・タイムズ』によると，中国で民族政策を担当している高官が「ダライ・ラマの転生の決定権はダライ・ラマ本人ではなく中国中央政府にある」と述べたそうで。Zhu Weiqun, a Communist Party official who has long dealt with Tibetan issues, told reporters in Beijing on Wednesday that the Dalai Lama had, essentially, no say over whether he was reincarnated. That was ultimately for the Chinese government to decide, he said, according to a transcript of his comments on the website

TOKYO – Japan is cheap. Yes, you read that right. This may surprise – or astonish – those familiar with the country’s high value-added brands, its “bubble era” or Japanese land prices – touted as among the most expensive in the world.

Why Startups Condense in America
May 2006 (This essay is derived from a keynote at Xtech.) Startups happen in clusters. There are a lot of them in Silicon Valley and Boston, and few in Chicago or Miami. A country that wants startups will probably also have to reproduce whatever makes these clusters form. I've claimed that the recipe is a great university near a town smart people like. If you set up those conditions within the US,

How to Make Wealth
May 2004 (This essay was originally published in Hackers & Painters.) If you wanted to get rich, how would you do it? I think your best bet would be to start or join a startup. That's been a reliable way to get rich for hundreds of years. The word "startup" dates from the 1960s, but what happens in one is very similar to the venture-backed trading voyages of the Middle Ages. Startups usually invol

日本の公務員は国際スタンダードなのか
行政改革の名の下に公務員の人員削減と給与引き下げが続く日本。しかしその方向性に問題はないのか。欧州信用危機を機に注目された南欧諸国の公務員制度が抱える問題点を参考に、日本の公務員改革を考え直す。 日本の公務員改革はどこへ？ 日本の公務員制度改革をめぐる議論の中でよく耳にするのは、公務員の数が多すぎる、業務に向かうモラールが低い、そのため無駄が多い、という指摘であろう。しかし、日本の労働人口に占める公務員数（一般政府雇用者数）の比率は、6.7％と極めて低い水準で、OECD諸国でも下から2番目の33位である（OECD 2011）。 OECD諸国との比較を通じて見る限り、日本の労働市場における公務員比率の低さは明白であり、公務員の数を減らすことが必ずしも無駄の削減や経済効率の改善に直結するとは言えない。また、給与の削減による待遇の悪化は、公務員を目指す若年層の減少につながり、むしろ、公共サービス
