The Political Economy of Japanese Society: Volume 1: The State or the Market?

...provides non-Japanese readers with an insight into a rich vein of research in the social and political structures associated with the historical development of the Japanese corporate economy. Through this book inventive and innovative methods of analysis are applied to analyse what is variously described as a compact form of society, corporatism, and "harmonist" organisation. The authors are interested in the minutiae and detail in recent Japanese history and have used a wealth of statistical, written and printed testimony in developing their complex thesis. This book should be read by all serious scholars of modern Japan. - Mark A Gray. Kellogg College, Oxford.
