Opis

Today, with Japan holding second place in global wealth and continuing to expand her economy, the focus is all too readily concentrated on the processes of wealth creation, as well as economic and financial management - both domestically and internationally. What is often missing in the analysis is an understanding of the origins of Japan's rise to her superstate position.

Reissue in paperback (with new Introduction) of the 1951 classic analysis of the crucial years leading up to the Meiji restoration in which Britain provided Japan with its wealth and power model.
