Overview

Widely read, especially in East Asia where it was translated into Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, this is one of the most important and influential books published on Japan in the 1990s. This revised edition features a new and substantive introduction by the author that is an up-to-date analysis of Japan's contemporary and deepening crisis and further confirms McCormack's astute and penetrating analysis of the first edition.
