I read this in the 1990s sometime, and it struck me as total paranoia about Japan taking over the world. It's interesting to look back on it now, given what has happened to the Japanese economy. No one is talking about Japan taking over any more, or the trade deficit with Japan, etc. It's my personal belief that Japan will fail to be a real superpower to be reckoned with until they actually give equal opportunity to their women! If they took full advantage of their potential female workforce, look out!
