The book was timely: Japan's subsequent \"bubble era\" of the 1980s saw the country booming. But since the economic bubble burst at the start of the 1990s, Japan has been in decline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJapan Restored\u003c\/i\u003e takes up where Vogel left off. Written as a vision of Japan in the year 2050, Prestowitz looks back to the mid-2010s as such a low point for Japan that a special reform commission was set up that helped the country regain its former position as a leader in technology, in business, and geopolitically. Looking at education, innovation, the role of women, corporate organization, energy, infrastructure, domestic government, and international alliances, Prestowitz draws up a fascinating and controversial blueprint for the future success of Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn wake of the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo and the economic chaos caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, \u003ci\u003eJapan Restored\u003c\/i\u003e is as timely as the 1979 book that inspired it.","brand":"Clyde Prestowitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291657023739,"sku":"9781462915323","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_39c6e724-3150-4bd1-9491-d22e4ebf5049.jpg?v=1779191426","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/japan-restored-9781462915323","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
