財務省と消費税0が「かみ合わない」ワケ

"Zero Consumption Tax on Food!" vs. "How Will Social Security Be Funded?" Why do economic debates, which unfold daily on social media and in the news, always end up becoming like "religious wars" and failing to connect with one another? In this video, the Kotonoha Sisters use the familiar conflict of "Zero Consumption Tax vs. the Ministry of Finance" as a case study to thoroughly dissect the underlying structure behind the escalation and entertainment-driven nature of economic discussions. They objectively compare the "justices" held by both sides and clearly explain the sophistry techniques prevalent in online debates, such as the straw man argument and cherry-picking. Furthermore, they explore how social media algorithms accelerate our "cognitive distortions" and transform discussions into "fandom activities" or "faith." This is a must-see 30 minutes that answers the question, "Why does human discussion of economics become religious?" rather than focusing on economics itself. ■What you will learn from this video 0:00 Is Economics a Religion? 0:47 Two "Justices" 7:56 Each Side's Argument 13:18 Anatomy of the Strawman Argument 18:26 The Entertainmentization of Debate 23:18 Both Right, Both Wrong 27:24 Is Economics a Religion? ■References https://www.mof.go.jp/jgbs/reference/... https://www.mof.go.jp/jgbs/reference/... https://www.mof.go.jp/jgbs/publicatio... https://www.boj.or.jp/statistics/boj/... https://www.tkfd.or.jp/researc h/detail.php?id=4587 https://www.mof.go.jp/about_mof/other... https://www.mof.go.jp/about_mof/other... https://www.mof.go.jp/about_mof/other... https://www.mof.go.jp/about_mof/other... https://www.mof. go.jp/about_mof/other/other/rating/p140530s.htm https://www.shugiin.go.jp/internet/it... https://www.elgaronline.com/view/jour... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_... https://stephaniekelton.com/paul-krugma n-asked-me-about-modern-monetary-theory-here-are-4-answers/ https://www.jbaudit.go.jp/koryu/study... https://www.jbaudit.go.jp/koryu/study... https://www.jcer.or.jp/j-column/colum... https://www.tkfd.or.jp/research/detai... #Economics #ConsumptionTax #MinistryofFinance #MMT #StrawManArgument
