‘. . . interesting, informative, and worthwhile reading. This reviewer recommends the book for anyone interested in understanding what happened to Japan in the 1990s.’
– Thomas F. Cargill, Journal of Economic Literature
‘. . . the publication of Why Did Japan Stumble? . . . is very welcome. In a single location, the reader can sample a wide variety of conflicting explanations, some of them by very influential Japanese thinkers. . . . Those interested in the state of debate among top rank participants would do well to include this book on their reading list.’
– Richard Katz, Journal of Japanese Studies
In this ground-breaking book, leading commentators on the Japanese economy analyse both the immediate and deep-seated causes that make a sustained economic recovery in Japan problematic. They debate the deep-rooted structural causes of Japan’s decline and assess Japan’s faltering financial system before prescribing policies to abate the continuing crisis.
