Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative work demystifies the Japanese economy by considering it as a strategic system. Showing how the Japanese “miracle†is actively planned, directed, and implemented by a constellation of institutions, government policymakers, and big business, Huber argues that Japan, Inc., can best be compared to a modern military system rather than exclusively to a free-market economy. The author highlights particularly the similarity between Japan’s strategic economy and some of the structures and policy dynamics of the U.S. military and shows how Japans economic strategies have the capability of adversely affecting its trading partners.
