Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 1972, when discovered by local hunters on Guam, former tailor Yokoi was widely reported as a ‘no surrender man’ who survived, living up to the old Japanese military code of honour. This book is about the reality of such a man (and the ingenuity he applied to ensure his survival), which is very different from the stereotype. This book sheds a different light on the reality of the war in the Pacific while addressing some key issues concerning the nature of Japanese culture in modern times. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study finds that equity returns in the banking sector in the wake of the Great Recession and the European sovereign debt crisis have been driven mainly by weak growth prospects and heightened sovereign risk and to a lesser extent, by deteriorating funding conditions and investor sentiment. While the equity return performance in the banking sector has been dismal in general, better capitalized and less leveraged banks have outperformed their peers, a finding that supports policymakers’ efforts to strengthen bank capitalization. |
