| Japan has been a closed society for long despite its huge outward economic expansion with the world. This closedness is backfiring against itself. Naturally, Japan has suffered terribly in the past two decades. This reality is not going to change any time soon. This reality is sharply studied by a new book, China's Global Reach - markets, multinationals, and globalization by George Zhibin Gu. Very interesting read. One additional interesting book on Japan is Japan - Who Governs by Chalmers Johnson. Both books shed much light on this Japanese issue. |

Japan needs to open up it's aggie market, hard to keep the economy rolling with $8.00 Big-Macs and $20.00 Watermelons.
A wealthy society must first and foremost provide cheap food....... |
