Looking at the Sun: The Rise of the New East Asian Economic and Political System
New York: Pantheon Books, 1994. Fifth Printing. 517, notes, index, some pages bent (not creased). Skillfully blending history with on-the-ground reportage and astute analysis, Fallows reveals how political goals and historical experience have shaped Japan's economic rise and have placed it at the heart of a new Asian system that challenges the very economic principles the West extols. Suggesting that the United States does not yet comprehend the ramificationsof the new form of capitalism developed in Japan, Fallows, a reporter on Asia for the Atlantic Monthly and other periodicals and author of the American Book Award-winning National Defense, details them. It is this style of capitalism, rather than communism or fascism, that challenges us now. Condition: good, good.
