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. 606 $aIndustrial policy$zJapan 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xEconomic policy$y1945-1989 607 $aJapan$xEconomic policy$y1989- 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aJapan$xPolitics and government$y1989- 615 0$aIndustrial policy 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 676 $a338.952 700 $aBeason$b Dick$f1958-$01622246 701 $aPatterson$b Dennis Patrick$f1953-$01159702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826927703321 996 $aThe Japan that never was$93956001 997 $aUNINA
