First sentence: As the 1980s ended there was talk of Tokyo becoming the financial capital of the world, and it was fashionable to ask whether other countries should be adopting Japan's industrial policy and financial system.
Description: "In this book Takeo Hoshi and Anil Kashyap examine the history of the Japanese financial system, from its nineteenth-century beginnings through the collapse of the 1990s that concluded with sweeping reforms. Combining financial theory with new data and original case studies, they show why the Japanese financial system developed as it did and how its history affects its ongoing evolution."--BOOK JACKET.
