（小ネタ）今回は辛口

５月半ばに安倍首相をスーパーマンに見立てた好意的な特集をした雑誌エコノミストですが、すでに失速したスーパーマンとして批判的になった社説を掲載していました。

Abenomics
Not so super
The “third arrow” of reform has fallen well short of its target; time for Shinzo Abe to rethink
Jun 15th 2013 |From the print edition

Mr Abe must honour this pledge and face down his own MPs on reforms, as he did when he signed up to talks on the TPP. Now, more than ever, he cannot afford to become distracted by his pet project of changing Japan’s post-war constitution. Instead he should first fill his cabinet with reformists and then take on the rest of his party. Issue by issue, he will need to isolate and then defeat the opponents of change.

It is still too early to write off Abenomics. But this was a bad week for Japan.

以前紹介したカーティス教授は安倍首相の改革遂行能力を疑問視していましたが、このままだとエコノミストの評価もそのようになってしまうかもしれません。
