Japan's Big Bang: The Deregulation and Revitalizatiion of the Japanese Economy

32 reviews

Tuttle Publishing, 2000

As I am the author
I have to rate it highly. It was a good, well written book looking at the aftermath of the Bubble and the proposed Big Bang reforms. Unlike earlier books written when Japan was outperforming all its competitors, it did not stand in shock, awe and wonder at Japan Inc but instead painted its strengths and many weaknesses. Although controversial, none of the many facts it outlines can be seriously ...

Shooting The Messenger
Previous critics have commented on the book's shortcomings. I would like to concentrate my critique on those far right xenophobes, who insist attacking the messenger with racist remarks, rather than critiquing the message. I went to a public lecture Prof Hayes gave to European business people about Japan's healthcare industry on 5th April. His talk was both funny and factual. It was a rich ...

good try but
This was an effort by me to write a book like Adam Smith's Money Game, or Burton Malkiel's Random Walk down Wall Street. There are still books like that coming out and all of htem are probably better than mine. The last time Ichecked this site, there seemed to have been a nasty review written on one of my other books, referring to the title of this book. I am sure that weas one of my more ...

God's Solution: Why Religion not Science Answers Life's Deepest Questions

Good God
This book puts the shallow arguments of Dawkins et al in place. Right now, Burmese monks are pushing the envelope against Myanmar's military junta. Dawkins and the other sinectured radicals are not. All they do is gripe about the Wars of the Reformation (which my book shows were about money and power, not religion - over 95% of Germans were illiterate at the time and loot and pillage was much ...

"Andrew in Indonesia" Misses the Point
Quote from October 9, 2005 edition of The Yomiuri Shimbun: The Japanese and U.S. governments have agreed in principle to relocate the headquarters of the U.S. Marine Corps' III Marine Expeditionary Force -now located at Camp Courtney in Okinawa Prefecture - to Guam and to cut the number of marines in the prefecture by several thousand as part of measures to reduce the burden of U.S. forces in the ...

I wrote this for students
And my students have found it very helpful ever since. That said, there are much better products on the market now for them. That said, how to books are a strange breed. Some people are just good at resumes, interviews and the like and some need all the help imaginable. There are pirated PDF versions of this book circulating; this is not an entirely bad thing as the book's original purpose was to ...
