Editorial Reviews

The revolutionary upsurge of capitalism in Japan is most often attributed to its institutions, particularly its factories, which are seen as models for the rest of the world. Steven's study slightly shifts the focus to how, in order to escape the high yen, Japanese capital has closed down factories and moved them overseas in search of cheap labor. Annotation c.
