Description
Japan's Heisei Crisis... why is the world's second largest economic power still unable to recover from its post-bubble economic recession? In Japan, the 1990s were called the "Lost Decade" as land and stock prices kept falling and a general sense of gloom spread among the country's citizens.
According to Vittorio Volpi, an influential banker and long-time resident of Japan, what the country crucially needs now is a new pioneering spirit. The Japanese of the present Heisei Era may have much to learn from the Meiji pioneers who in the second half of the 19th century brought the country to a strong position among major world powers.
In this book, the reader will find a unique insider's view of the social, cultural and economic challenges facing Japan in the 21st century.
