Críticas:

"As Chalmers Johnson argues in this vital and engaging book, the halcyon days of American ascendancy cannot last...Get hold of this prescient book and keep it for that rainy day."

Reseña del editor:

Japan is the world's richest country in terms of per capita income. Even during a recession the country is in the black. Japan's school system produces a blue-collar work force possessing skills that come only with a college degree in most Western countries. Its pension and health delivery systems are efficient and relatively inexpensive, and its unemployment rate half that of the United States and Germany. This text suggests that the reasons for Japan's success lie in its "capitalist development state", an economic system in which public service is highly valued, where state bureaucracy attracts the best young minds and where "guidance" by the state is both accepted and ubiquitous. The book examines why such a system thrives as it moves from a producer-dominated economy to a consumer-orientated headquarters for all of East Asia.
