Opis

Originally published in 1986, after a period of global changes and financial crisis in the majority of industrialised countries, this book explores how Japan s economy seemed to maintain its success. This study provides an overview of the Japanese case and the main schools of thought that arose from it by dealing with export-related issues such as reforms in foreign exchange and trade control laws and the internationalisation of Japan s financial markets as well as more domestic issues such as employment and wages. This title will be of interest to students of Asian Studies and Economics. "
