In the ashes of postwar Japan lay a gold mine for certain opportunistic, expatriate Americans. Addicted to the volatile energy of Tokyo's freewheeling underworld, they formed ever-shifting but ever-profitable alliances with warring Japanese and Korean gangsters.

世界はインターネットによってますます“村”化していきます。こうした世界において、いよいよ重要になるのが、自律という問題です。 私たちは他人の気分に惑わされることなく、現実を見なければいけない。“村”社会のバイアスを取り払う必要があります。 行動経済学の第一人者・ダニエル・カーネマンが書いた『ファスト&スロー』という本が話題となっています。この本では、人の思考を〈システム1〉と〈システム2〉にわけて解説しています。 〈システム1〉は直感的な思考、〈システム2〉は論理的で合理的な思考です。 〈システム1〉はすばやく反応することができますが、認知バイアスに影響されます。一方、〈システム2〉は、時間がかかり怠けたがる性質をもっています。ちゃんと気力があり、集中力をもっているときには、〈システム1〉のもつバイアスを〈システム2〉がチェックしてくれますが、疲れていたり、注意をそらされているとチェックが働きません。その結果、バイアスによって認知が歪められてしまうのです。（本文より） 小山龍介　「ライフハック・ストリート」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/koyama.html

Originally published in six volumes, which sold more than one million copies, Carl Sandburg’s Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg’s generation. He later distilled this monumental work into one volume that critics and readers alike consider his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgment will determine if a war will be fought.
