Because of Japan's successful economic recovery from the Second World War, Japan has often been understood as an affluent and all-middle-class society. This introductory course critically analyzes Japan from the perspective of social class and inequality and examines how people's perceptions regarding inequality and social class structure have changed over time. After examining how people from different social classes experience life in Japan differently, this lecture concludes how social class and inequality as a perspective help us understand not only Japan but also other societies better.
