Modern Japan : A Very Short Introduction

Goto-Jones, Christopher

Modern Japan : A Very Short Introduction - Oxford Oxford University Press 2009 - 159 - Very Short Introductions .

Modern Japan: A Very Short Introduction aims to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan by considering its history, economy, politics, and culture. Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many.
