In a timely, even prophetic, portrait of Asia's rise and the magnitude of its challenge to the West, Fallows demolishes the myth that Japan is a capitalist country built on the Western model. He demonstrates instead how Japan's economic system treats business as an instrument of national interest while casting aside the traditional Western values of individual enterprise and human rights.

From the Publisher:
"Americans have fallen into the trap of not looking at how the rest of the world organizes itself on the grounds that everyone would sooner or later understand the wisdom of the American model. As James Fallows ably demonstrates, it isn't so. Americans have to understand how the second largest economy in the world operates so that they can both compete against it and cooperate with it."--Lester Thurow
