What I never understood is why Ishiba, Kishida and Suga championed an anti-growth agenda. But I guess good that Takaichi is pro-growth instead.
Mizuho Financial Group’s chief executive officer said he feels confident that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s pro-growth policies and the Bank of Japan’s interest rate hikes will boost his bank’s businesses.
Mizuho's CEO says he sees policy tailwinds from Takaichi and BOJ
Masahiro Kihara said Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi had 'good vision,' referring to her policy initiatives, while the central bank has 'room for another hike or two.”

It’s interesting, I see the opposite, both in Japan and abroad. I feel that the media is united in praising her and giving her grace, which we can also see in the support numbers. Completely different to the reception for Ishiba a year ago.

This is an excellent interview with the German culture critic Wolfgang M. Schmitt. He lays out a leftist point of view about contemporary German politics. It's in German of course, but perhaps the auto-dub or subtitles will be sufficient.
