Within keiretsu groups, argue these observers, firms preferentially trade, lend money, take and receive technical and financial assistance, and cement their ties through cross-shareholding agreements. In The Fable of the Keiretsu, Yoshiro Miwa and J. Mark Ramseyer demonstrate that all this talk is really just urban legend. In their insightful analysis, the authors show that the very idea of the keiretsu was created and propagated by Marxist scholars in post-war Japan. Western scholars merely repatriated the legend to show the culturally contingent nature of modern economic analysis. Laying waste to the notion of keiretsu, the authors debunk several related "facts" as well: that Japanese firms maintain special arrangements with a "main bank," that firms are systematically poorly managed, and that the Japanese government guided post-war growth. In demolishing these long-held assumptions, they offer one of the few reliable chronicles of the realities of Japanese business.Conglomerate corporationsJapanCorporationsFinanceJapanEconomic policy1989-JapanEconomic conditions1989-keiretsu, business, japan, economy, alliance, corporation, preference, trading, shareholding, lending, marxism, conglomerate, main bank, management, growth, economics, zaibatsu, outside directors, government, regulation, assistance, loyalty, honor, market, central planning, myth, urban legend, profit, industrial policy, networks.Conglomerate corporationsCorporationsFinance.338.8/70952QP 450rvkMiwa Yoshirō1948-1507197Ramseyer J.
