The Japanese Economy, 4th Edition, is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in economics, as it provides vivid examples of its application. This book is also valuable for those who have a broad interest in Japan, as it is essential to understand Japan's economic complexities through the lens of basic economics.

To truly know Japan, or any country, goes beyond mere recitation of facts about its history, geography, institutions, and culture. A disciplined approach is required to organize the diverse facts into a coherent system that can be grasped as a whole. Modern economics serves as the academic foundation of this book. It employs economics to explain concepts, yet assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. The primary focus of the book is on Japan, tracing its economic history from the late sixteenth century to the twentieth century. It then delves into contemporary topics within Japan's economy, encompassing a wide-ranging perspective, including economic growth, the business cycle, exchange rates, and the balance of trade.

The discussion proceeds to examine various sectors of the economy, such as the public sector, industry and trade, the financial system, the labor market, and more. The chapters can be read in any order, yet four interconnected threads run through all of them: Japan's economic growth and development, its integration with the global economy, government policies and their effects, and unique economic institutions and practices.

By exploring these themes, The Japanese Economy, 4th Edition offers a comprehensive understanding of Japan's economic landscape, enabling readers to gain insights into the country's economic successes, challenges, and unique characteristics. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply interested in economics, this book provides valuable knowledge and perspectives on Japan's economic development.
