I don't see Kishida's "New Capitalism" as anything particularly new on a policy basis, although the direct critique of neoliberal policy is pretty unexpectedly forthright. But, as you said, I view it more as a reaction to the frayed global order, as they reorient their aims toward this new reality, rather than something being pushed from within civil society itself.

Basically, 'New Capitalism' is just a way to imply hard geopolitical considerations are back on the menu. I'll have to look more into it though, thanks for the post.
