In this chapter, Tommo continues his criticism of the book-buying habits of the upper classes. He criticizes the fact that many of the books that are sold in Japan are titles that are not related to the book they are about. For example, the title of this novel, "The Birth of a New Class," is not about the birth of the new class, but about the financial center of the New York Stock Exchange. Tommo argues that if the title were changed to something that actually relates to the novel, people would be more interested in the book.
