Recenzje

'… a masterpiece. The book sparkles with intelligence, incisiveness, elegance and a great deal of humanity. [It] is a must for those wishing to understand not only more about Japanese society and economy, but indeed about the world we live in, where it has come from, and where it is going. It is one of those exceedingly rare books that provides intellectual, spiritual and moral enrichment.' International Affairs
