Is Japan totally exceptional or is it a typical market economy? Is the poor macroeconomic
performance of the nineties down to archaic institutions or short term monetary and
budgetary policies?
The contributions to Japanese Capitalism in Crisis show that there can be a middle
ground between these extremes and delivers two benefits: a deeper understanding of
long term development and an extension of existing theory. A regulationist approach
is used to examine how the periods of growth and crisis can be attributed to the
institutions which govern capital accumulation.
This book should prove to be invaluable to students and researchers studying the
economies of Japan and other east Asian countries as well as all those interested
in patterns of boom and recession worldwide.
