'Makoto Itoh has produced a masterful volume on the crisis of Japan. This concise and complete work by one of the 20th century's great political economists provides a sure-handed account of Japan's situation as it enters the 21st. He incisively summarizes the historical background and competing schools of thought on what ails Japan. Itoh argues that Japan's problems arise from both a crisis of social reproduction and the breakdown of the international economic order. This volume will take its place as one of author's enduring achievements.' - Gary Dymski, Department of Economics, University |
