N2  - "In this book, leading commentators on the Japanese economy analyse both the immediate and deep-seated causes that make a sustained economic recovery in Japan problematic. They debate the deep-rooted structural causes of Japan's decline and assess Japan's faltering financial system before prescribing policies to abate the continuing crisis."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume will be of interest to scholars of Japanese studies, financial economics and international economics as well as to anyone with an interest in the current Japanese crisis."--Jacket
