“This is a tour de force” is how the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) began its review of the Japanese translation of my book, The Contest for Japan’s Economic Future.

Of the millions of books sold on Amazon.co.jp., this book briefly ranked #313 and, in the money and business category, a stunning #102.
