They argue that most attempts to reconcile Japan's past success with its current problems have been inadequate, primarily because scholars fail to fully understand how Japan's political-economic system was organized and how it operated in the past. Revealing that certain long-term political and economic trends suggested in subtle but unambiguous ways that the crisis of the 1990s was long in the making, the authors offer an alternative explanation for Japan's postwar political-economic trajectory and a better understanding of the challenges that Japan currently faces.Industrial policyJapanStructural adjustment (Economic policy)JapanJapanEconomic policy1945-1989JapanEconomic policy1989-JapanPolitics and government1945-1989JapanPolitics and government1989-Industrial policyStructural adjustment (Economic policy)338.952Beason Dick1958-1622246Patterson Dennis Patrick1953-1159702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826927703321The Japan that never was3956001UNINA
