Features: "Saving Japan" hits the core of Japan's current predicament. After all, the Japanese always perceive things differently from external observers, and face different political and economic pressures. This unconventional book completely captures this crucial reality. As a major part of the global economic landscape, the economic situation of neighboring Japan has always been a closely watched subject for the Chinese. The observers include not only economic researchers but also many who are amazed by Japan's economic rise and fall. With the continuous exposure of bad debts and corruption scandals, the Japanese financial sector, particularly banks, have gradually come under scrutiny. This book depicts a gamble hanging on the fate of the nation, a story about saving the Japanese financial sector with its samurai tradition. Gail Tett, former Director of the Financial Times Tokyo bureau, confronts real-life events in the form of a novel, with a gripping plot and a relentless pace, opening the door to the mysterious world of the Japanese economy for readers. This is a classic story of the meeting of Eastern and Western civilizations. In Tett's hands, the business theme is as colorful as a war or a love story.
