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 significant part of the global economic landscape, the economic situation of neighboring Japan has always been a subject of close attention for the Chinese. The observers include not only researchers in the economic field but also a considerable number of people who are amazed by the rise and fall of the Japanese economy. 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 a samurai tradition. Gillian Tett, former Director of the Financial Times Tokyo Bureau, confronts real-life events in the form of a novel, with a thrilling plot and a strong rhythm that leaves readers breathless, opening the mysterious door of the Japanese economy. This is a classic story of the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations. In Tett's hands, this business-themed narrative is as colorful as a war or love story.
