Description

With the two-thousand-year history of the Japanese experience as his foundation, Edwin O. Reischauer brings us an incomparable description of Japan today in all its complexity and uniqueness, both material and spiritual. His analysis presents us with the paradox that is present-day Japan - thoroughly international, depending for its livelihood almost entirely on foreign trade, its products coveted everywhere, yet not entirely liked or trusted. Reischauer explores the rich heritage of the island nation, identifying incidents and trends that have significantly affected Japan's modern development. He delves into contemporary Japanese society, examining both the constants and the rapidly changing aspects. The book covers government, politics, business management, organization, and Japan's relationship with the world. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
