'#MeToo' spray-painted on iconic statue of WWII sailor kissing nurse

Police in Florida are looking for the vandal who painted "#MeToo" on the leg of the nurse in the "Unconditional Surrender" statue.

The statue is modeled after an iconic photo taken in Times Square in 1945, showing a woman dressed in a white uniform being embraced and kissed by a sailor to celebrate the end of World War II.The woman, identified as Greta Friedman, was 21 at the time, and she didn't know the sailor, who has been identified as George Mendonsa.

Looking back on the moment later on, Freidman described a kiss that wasn't consensual. "Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor," she told Veterans History Project in 2005. "It wasn't that much of a kiss. It was more of a jubilant act that he didn't have to go back."

The sailor was "very strong," she told the Veterans History Project."He was just holding me tight. I'm not sure about the kiss... It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event. It was just ... 'Thank God, the war is over.'"Mendonsa's recollection is similar. "So we get into Times Square and the war ends and I see the nurse," he

told CNN in 2015

. "I had a few drinks, and it was just plain instinct, I guess. I just grabbed her."On Tuesday morning, police discovered that someone had used red spray paint and wrote the words "#MeToo" on the statue in Sarasota, Florida.

対照的な二人の経済学者

タイトルを書いて思ったが、対照的な二人と言う切り口ならどこにでもいそうである。彼らはどうだろう。1976年のノーベル経済学賞受賞者ミルトン・フリードマン、2002年のノーベル経済学賞受賞者ダニエル・カーネマン。約1/4世紀という時間を感じさせる二人の本を読み比べた。本の装丁をしたそれぞれの会社の二人の人の手腕にも感心してしまう。

今、勉強しているBower and Paine (2017) “The Error at the Heart of Corporate Leadership.”, Harvard Business Review 95, no. 3 (May–June 2017): 50–60. の中で、ミルトン・フリードマンは、エージェンシー理論を提唱して、企業の短期主義を助長した・・くらいの勢いで指弾されていて、そこまで否定的に論述されるのは、どんな論調なのかを読んで確かめてみた。

http://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=52623

一方のダニエル・カーネマン。この本やその思想に気づいたのは、白状すれば2013年の春休み・・・つまりノーベル賞を受賞して10年も経ったころであるが、「現代における『富』は、生活の幸福感と反比例する」という、日頃はなんとなくその通りだと思っていることが、論理的に非常にスッキリと説明されている。それもそのはず、ダニエル・カーネマンは心理学者であり行動経済学という分野のパイオニアの一人なのだ。ここでポイントになるのは、「現代における『富』」という背景設定であって、先進国では、もはやあまり生活の幸福度と関連付けられなくなっている、ということである。

ということは、先進国でも、かつては富めることが幸福と繋がっていた時代も存在するのであり、ミルトン・フリードマンが若き研究者の生活を送った時代に、「お金持ちになるって素晴らしい！」と、若者が思って何が悪いか、というくらいの勢いであったかもしれない。現代でも、この余熱はくすぶっているわけだし。問題となるのは、 企業の業績を短期指標で測るという手法を流行らせた原因の一つとして、エージェンシー理論が役目を果たしたんではないか、というところである。ちなみに、ここに写真をあげる本の中では、短期業績志向のヘッジファンドをもてはやすような意味合いのことは書いていない。

Taxi Millionaire in New York Filing for Bankruptcy, Blames Uber-Citibank Plot

Evgeny Freidman , a New Yorker who made millions off his taxi companies, is accustomed to getting what he wants. He even thought he had too much money and power to allow a small startup like Uber run over New York's taxi drivers. Read the story below. Evgeny Freidman, the taxi mogul, warned New York officials this spring that he was too big to fail and asked for a bailout of the taxi industry. He didn’t get one. So, on Wednesday, he filed a petition to put many of his taxi medallion-owning companies into bankruptcy. Medallions are the licenses many cities require to operate taxicabs, and their limited number has made them increasingly valuable over the last several decades. As recently as the summer of 2013, the kinds of medallions Mr. Freidman owns were worth as much as $1.2 million, far above the $739,000 of debt per medallion that is indicated in the bankruptcy filing.
