Can Japan Ever Recover?

It is now more than a decade since the bursting of Japan's economic bubble. Despite ten years of promised reform, its problems are spiralling out of control. In the course of the next two years many of these problems, either for domestic or external reasons, will reach breaking point. Lewis predicts that the extent of Japan's problems will wreak extreme havoc around the world and become the principal focus of the world's business and political communities in coming years. This book addresses the crucial question of whether Japan has what it takes to bounce back and if it will fight to recover its global standing or accept that its days on the international stage are numbered.
