In this paper, first, I suggest that economists should attach more importance to the economic role of social system and employees asset ownership. One of the reasons of economic success of the Japanese economy in the last few decades may be explained by the role of social factor in increasing productivity. Just like the optimum mix of market system and planned system improves efficiency and well-being of the people, the optimum mix of economic market system and social system will have similar effects.Second, I show that the seniority wage profile together with the so-called lifetime employment practice in Japan has an employment promoting effect similar to that of ML Weitzman's" share economy". It is interesting to know that under either system the wages of new employee remain less than the marginal labour productivity value.
