‘This is essential reading for understanding the phenomenon of the “bubble economy”. Roger Farrell reveals all about the motivations, strategies and trends in Japanese real estate investment during the investment boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He cuts through the hype and gets to the essence of the problem: an absence of strategy and control, and lack of experience on the part of the investors, loose regulatory environments and the openness of the key target markets. It is a cautionary tale, well told.’
– Alan Rix, University of Queensland, Australia
‘Farrell’s is the first comprehensive study. . . . It provides a detailed record of what happened and the costs of what happened. It will be invaluable to those in the business and also to those trying to understand Japan’s economic policy problems and challenges today.’
– Peter Drysdale, Australian National University, Australia
Japanese overseas investment in real estate has been little analysed, until now, despite its economic scale and political impact. This unique book explores the political economy of Japanese foreign direct investment in real estate in the United States, Australia and other countries from the mid-1980s onwards.
In the period between 1985 and 1994, there was a remarkable rise and decline in Japanese real estate investment abroad. The author explains that this experience was important because real estate investment became a focal point of international tension between Japan and other countries.
