How could the deteriorating trend of debt-driven world economy come to an end? What sort of logic is effectuating behind recent Chinese militaristic diplomacy in Asia-Pacific? Why Japan could not be a genuinely modern constitutionalist state, despite its spectacular economic comeback? The ancient ideology that once led successful Eastern civilization - yet still unknown to the West - is running all major economic powers in East Asia with a secretive political arrangement. Since the 19th century, war and turmoil continued elsewhere after the arrival of two modern ideologies in Europe - Communism and Fascism/Nazism. The World, however, prevented its politics from going to the total destruction of economy on earth, as Berlin Wall was duly dismantled by the people's power in Germany. Why a similar political solution cannot be expected in East Asia? The economic system that contributed so much to the expansion of Eastern Civilization for thousands of years and embedded in its religions, politics, social practice and culture, is emerging today to present an insoluble controversy in modern politics. We only can clarify the mechanism of such ancient ideology by concentrating on Political Economy - absent in modern social science, since the days of Thomas Robert Malthus and John Maynard Keynes. This research work explains about a forgotten progress in the history of mankind and its ongoing reality under disguised double standard of Japanese Liberal Democracy and Chinese Communism against powerless international legal system, existing and functioning without a spirit of global modernization. An essential reading for keen professionals to find out the decisive turn round of intensifying economic crisis in our hyper-technological world.
