Focusing on the fall of liberalism in Japan in late 1931 and the global politics of money that were at the center of the crisis, Mark Metzler asks why successive Japanese governments from 1920 to 1931 carried out policies that deliberately induced deflation and depression. His search for answers stretches from Edo to London to the ragged borderlands of the Japanese empire and from the eighteenth century to the 1950's, integrating political and monetary analysis to shed light on the complex dynamics of money, empire, and global hegemony. His detailed and broad ranging account illuminates a range of issues including Japan's involvement in the economic dynamics that shook interwar Europe, the character of U.S. isolationism, and the rise of fascism as an international phenomenon. 410 0$aTwentieth-century Japan ;$v17. 606 $aMoney$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aCurrency question$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aGold standard$xHistory 606 $aMonetary policy$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aLiberalism$zJapan$xHistory 610 $aasian history. 610 $abusiness and finance. 610 $adeflation. 610 $adepression. 610 $aeast asian history. 610 $aeconomic policy. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aedo. 610 $aempire. 610 $afascism. 610 $afinancial history. 610 $aglobal politics. 610 $agold and currency. 610 $agold standard. 610 $agovernment policy. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimperial japan. 610 $aimperial state. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese empire. 610 $aliberalism. 610 $alondon. 610 $amodern japan. 610 $amoney. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apolitical extremism. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aus isolationism. 610 $aworld war two. 610 $aww2. 615 0$aMoney$xHistory. 615 0$aCurrency question$xHistory. 615 0$aGold standard$xHistory. 615 0$aMonetary policy$xHistory. 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory. 676 $a332.4/222/095209041 686 $aQK 100$2rvk 700 $aMetzler$b Mark$f1957-$01493868 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783670403321 996 $aLever of empire$93860653 997 $aUNINA
