Description
Dazzling culture and bureaucratic decay: a tale of Japan's downfall. The decades of Western adulation for Japan's 'economic miracle' masked a darker reality - a country ravaged by bad planning, corruption and crowding. Now that the economic miracle has ended, it is clear that one of the world's greatest cultures has been irreparably damaged. Alex Kerr's book vividly conveys both the dazzling nature of Japanese culture and the devastating consequences of bureaucratic decay in a country he loves.
