Although still the world's third largest economy, it continues to feel the effects of the collapse of a massive asset price bubble in the early 1990s. In recent years further setbacks, including both the Asian and global financial crises, and the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, have only added to the economy's difficulties and made its prospects under Abenomics at best mixed.0Hiroaki Richard Watanabe examines the ups and downs of Japan's postwar economic history to offer an up-to-date and authoritative guide to the workings of Japan's economy. He highlights the country's distinct modes of business network and Japan's state-market relationship. He explores the characteristic institutional complementarity that exists among different sectors and business practices and gives particular attention to human factors, such as labour market dualism (inequality between regular and non-regular workers), gender discrimination and migration not to mention the disturbing phenomenon of karoshi (death by overwork). Although often associated in Western minds with futuristic automated efficiency Watanabe shows that Japan's economy retains many inefficient practices that do not comply with global standards and which exhibit a longer history of economic nationalism and the legacy of a developmental state.0The book provides readers with a concise survey of Japan's recent economic history, its characteristic features and the challenges it continues to face, from economic stagnation to an ageing population. It also reflects on what Japan's experience suggests for its own future and its regional and global economic integration Wirtschaft (DE-588)4066399-1 gnd Volkswirtschaft (DE-STW)10025-6 stw Japan (DE-588)4028495-5 gnd BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 acq-record IDSBB A125 A125 125F1 UBW_QG_870 33 NELA1252010 IDSBB 100 1- Watanabe Hiroaki Richard 1968- (DE-588)1063821002 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- World economies SWISSBIB 579561925
