- Abstract
Keywords: I32; I31 EN I32 I31 146 147 2 01/13/23 20230101 NES 230101 Gotoh and Kambayashi ([3]) tackle important topics, including proposing a new measurement of human welfare and capturing some of the problems under COVID-19. Those concepts may not be familiar to potential readers, and Gotoh and Kambayashi should then explicitly discuss why the capability approach is relevant for discussing and measuring publicness. Third, Gotoh and Kambayashi's introduction proposes two research questions: (1) Why could not the Japanese government quickly adopt precise policies, and (2) How can we stop such a policy of leaving the vulnerable behind the welfare state?.
