Japan: A Postindustrial Power--third Edition, Revised And Updated

by Ardath W. Burks

In this revised and updated edition (second, 1984), Burks draws a portrait of a nation in historical transition. Examining the impact of the country's modernization, he notes that Japan, feeling intense trade pressure, is beginning to shift from export-driven growth to a consumer-centered economy, and he envisions a postindustrial future filled with friction and promise.
